At Authentic Life Counseling, I work with individuals ages 14 and up using evidence-based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while mixing in Relational as well as Liberation counseling. My passion is helping clients gain self-understanding and acceptance through a culturally sensitive lens. In our sessions, we’ll explore your values and what makes life meaningful for you. Clients often leave with greater clarity about the internal compass that guides their life, empowering them to create a life aligned with their true self.
With experience at a gender actualization center, counseling college students, and specialized training in transgender care, I offer a compassionate, culturally attuned approach. As a second-generation Jordanian-Palestinian immigrant, I understand identity struggles firsthand. I help clients feel seen, navigate challenges, and build meaningful lives.
Life can feel overwhelming, especially when navigating identity, relationships, or systemic challenges. As someone who values understanding and compassion, I’m here to offer a safe, affirming space where you can explore your experiences and grow. Together, we’ll work toward the meaningful, authentic life you deserve. Reach out today and let's get started.
