I am a licensed clinical psychologist with the Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness (www.cbtmindful.com); I am licensed in both PA and NY. Tending to our mental health is an incredibly important part of taking care of our overall health. In therapy, I engage with clients to work toward meaningful behavior change by developing an individually tailored evidence-based approach that incorporates aspects of both mindfulness and acceptance. I also work with clients to gain a better understanding of their values and whether their current behaviors are aligned with those values.

Waitlist for new clients
I am a Syrian, Queer, & Genderfluid clinician. As an immigrant kid raised in queer subcultures in the Pacific Northwest, my therapy practice is inspired by writers, creators, and organizers who complicate the narratives of our human existence. I believe the personal is deeply political and therapy is a tool to help us identify how our bodies, relationships, and internal beliefs have been impacted by systems of power and oppression. I utilize celebration, gentleness, and reflection alongside various modalities to inform my practice in session for a customized approach with each person who enters into a therapy relationship with me.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, judgment-free space where you’re able to explore what is going on for you. I work from an anti-oppression lens with adults navigating sexual orientation and gender identity (inc. ace/aro/poly), college or graduate students, and those struggling with chronic health.

When we collaborate, I prioritize creating a safe, judgment-free space where you can authentically express yourself. In our sessions, it's solely about you—your thoughts, feelings, and needs. I listen attentively, asking thoughtful questions to help us uncover deeper insights and recognize patterns. Creativity, to me, transcends traditional forms; it's delving into your personal metaphors, deciphering symbols, and adapting flexible solutions. Together, we'll navigate your challenges with empathy and understanding, fostering growth and healing.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed or overwhelmed? Struggling with your relationships? We humans are wired for connection. When life's experiences damage those connections, we end up depressed, anxious, angry & unhappy, often turning to unhealthy lifestyles including alcohol, food, drugs & overspending. We suffer & our relationships suffer. Therapy allows time for exploring these disconnections & learning new skills for connecting to ourselves, others & the world, so we can live the life we want. I can help you clarify & work productively with these issues, develop your strengths, & experience a greater overall sense of well-being.
