Sometimes people come to therapy because something has clearly fallen apart. Other times, it’s less obvious. Things may look fine from the outside, yet you feel unsettled in your relationships, thrown by reactions you don’t fully understand, or frustrated that the same dynamics keep repeating. In our work, we slow things down. We look closely at the moments that linger, the argument you replay, the silence you regret, the drink that feels necessary, the grief that resurfaces without warning. Instead of rushing to fix or label, we try to understand what these moments are protecting or expressing.

I can describe my approach to therapy as one that is collaborative, eclectic, and individualized to the needs of my patients. I believe that the therapeutic alliance accounts for a large percentage of positive clinical outcomes, and building a safe and trusting relationship with my patients is a primary aim of my work. Within the relationship, we may explore thoughts, emotions, dreams, fantasies, fears and desires to better understand both conscious and unconscious patterns. Through this exploration, individuals often gain insight, experience emotional relief, and develop more fulfilling relationships with themselves and others.

I am familiar with Middle Eastern cultures and can offer a hybrid of Arabic and English therapy.
You feel alone, misunderstood and anxious about showing up as your full, authentic self. You feel emotionally disconnected from loved ones because they don’t get you anymore. Or maybe they never did. You find yourself searching for meaning in life while trying to understand who you are and where you belong. You feel lost and terrified. Those around you don’t understand, nor do they see how much you’re struggling. You’ve become good at hiding how you really feel. Sometimes you feel others may be better off without you. You're close to giving up, but you want to make a change. You long to be understood and accepted, and to belong.
