Hi! I'm Mariam. I am a first-generation Arab immigrant, social worker, community organizer, advocate & meditation enthusiast. My interest in social work, mental health, & community healing stem from my personal experience living through geopolitical tensions and conflicts, navigating global systems, experiencing existential & cultural challenges, adjusting to major life changes, & simply trying to fit in this world. I have a special interest in working with young adults, the Arab community, immigrants, refugees, BIPOC & LGBTQIA+ people.
I work with individuals to explore complex questions while providing a space that honors the diverse narratives we hold. I practice cultural humility & mindfulness of the sociopolitical systems, using an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed & human-centric approach in treatment, bringing power & positionality analysis to my practice.
Healing is not linear, yet can be transformational - it can take many paths & therapy is one of them. I look to understand the world through your lens, as you are the expert on your life journey. Please join me to connect, share your narrative, heal & grow; while at the same time be held compassionately accountable. In Solidarity!
