I see clients through, AMALY, a nonprofit mental health organization that focuses on multicultural therapy. As a clinician, I have worked with a diverse age range from children, teenagers, all the way to older adults from many cultural backgrounds. I value incorporating various identities and roles my clients hold into my clinical work. I have a passion for women’s issues and intergenerational trauma. I believe in breaking down barriers and stigma, connecting spirituality to mental health, and healing in nature.
I am East Coast born and raised with a Syrian background. I received my B.A. in Psychology at the University of South Florida where I worked with youth before transitioning to University of San Diego to receive my masters in Mental Health Counseling.
I provide free 20 minute consultations to ensure that you are getting the support you need. Check out our website and sign up for a consultation!
