If you decide to work with me, I would consider it an honor to become part of your journey towards increased health and well-being. When you come to therapy, you will be treated with respect. I bring many years of experience as a therapist, providing both brief evidence-based interventions and long term psychodynamic approach. I will work carefully with you to define and achieve your personal goals.

Are you ready to navigate the complexities of your life and discover profound healing? My approach is rooted in the belief that healing begins with understanding and embracing the unknown aspects of our experiences. I specialize in treating trauma, disordered eating, body image struggles, and sexuality issues. I enjoy the thrill of not knowing what we are going to uncover next about each person I work with. I work from a lens of body positivity and fat positivity, decolonizing therapy, feminist, systems, and psychodynamic approaches.

Whatever motivates you to come to therapy (challenging relationships, overwhelming emotions, self-defeating patterns, to name a few), I am here to provide you with compassion and genuine curiosity about your experience. As a relational and psychodynamic therapist, I work with you to find insight about how past experiences are shaping your present relationships, self-images and behaviors. Together, we will explore the internal landscape of your thoughts, emotions and sensations. With this knowledge, and the support of the strong therapeutic relationship we will build, real change becomes possible.

I work through a blend of psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and social justice lenses.
Therapy is for everyone. It can free us from patterns that inhibit us from experiencing the fullness of life. It can help us live more authentically. Whether you struggle with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, chronic pain, matters of sexual or gender identity, or some other life transition, I prioritize creating a foundation of safety and trust. Together, we will help you to feel more freedom and connection in your life.

I often draw from Cognitive Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and most prominently from a Psychodynamic approach to guide you through this process of change.
If you’re here it’s likely because you find yourself struggling. Perhaps you’re in the midst of a transition - a new job, a new city, graduating college, the end of a relationship, or the loss of a loved one. You’re not sure how to navigate the situation and the feelings associated with it are intense. Maybe you’re like the estimated 21 million U.S. adults living with depression. You can’t find any motivation. You’re crying for seemingly no reason. Maybe you’re like the estimated 42.5 million U.S. adults who live with anxiety. You can’t find rest. Your thoughts race and you feel on edge all the time. I'm here to walk with you.

I am informed by Psychodynamic theory, Relational therapy, Internal Family Systems, Jungian Dream Analysis, and Somatic Strategies.
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.

Welcome! As a therapist my goal is to create a supportive space where it feels safe to explore and grow. I have extensive experience supporting survivors of sexual assault and relational trauma (domestic violence, childhood abuse) as well as a strong understanding of narcissistic abuse and codependency. I also work with individuals that may be experiencing anxiety, depression, and OCD as well as life stress from difficult loss or transitions. My therapeutic approach integrates a psychodynamic and interpersonal framework along with some elements of Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CF-CBT).

My work is rooted in a social justice frame and my clinical approach is influenced by psychodynamic, relational, and trauma-informed therapies.
It can be hard to face our feelings, and sometimes challenging to put them into words. Our deepest, most painful experiences can be overwhelming and scary. I’m here to hold a safe space to help you work through whatever issue that is troubling you. My aim as a therapist is to help you find ways to heal and access a more authentic self. I will help you find your strengths, and guide you through areas in your life that need change. If you are struggling with an eating disorder, disordered eating, body image concerns or chronic dieting, I would love to help.

Psychodynamic sessions with me focus on providing support and fostering insight for those struggling with anxiety, relationship conflicts, depression, as well as existential crises.
I believe that the better someone understands their experiences, the better they are able to understand themselves and the larger story of their identity. Our work together will involve being curious not only of what's being said but also what's not being said, resisted, or minimized. We may start to notice discrepancies that provoke insight. A deeper level of understanding of your experiences results in a more integrated sense of self. Changes in the way we understand ourselves and the interactions that fill our lives have a profound impact on the decisions we make and how we then live our lives.

I utilize an integrative model, drawing from relational, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, EMDR, and attachment based approaches.
Many find themselves at a point in their lives where external support is necessary to navigate life's challenges. My clients seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Some may come to therapy to deal with a specific struggle, such as anxiety or depression, while others initiate therapy during a difficult life transition. Even positive transitions, such as getting a new job or starting a new relationship can be stressful. Together, we will merge our resources to address these challenges in a safe environment by exploring patterns, processing events from the past, and creating plans for change in the future.
