Hi! I am a queer, Syrian clinical psychologist who specializes in psychological testing, and working with the LGBTQ+ community and treating folks dealing with OCD, minority stress, depression, anxiety, and phobias. I also provide gender affirming care for individuals 12 and older who are at various stages in their gender journey. I enjoy working with folks navigating gender identity exploration/transition, as well as sexual and racial identity development. I write letters of support for gender affirming surgery, and can typically get folks in within a week. I also provide ADHD testing and diagnostic assessments for folks 12 and up.

Welcome! Thank you for stopping by my profile. My name is Kai and my expertise is the lived experiences of BIPOC folks and queer folks as I find joy in being a listening ear for those who have yet to be heard. You may be going through difficult life transitions and find it hard to feel connected to others; perhaps you received a diagnosis that is unfamiliar to you and you are unsure of what comes next; maybe you are thinking about your family or you are exploring your cultural identity, and it can be easy to feel disconnected even with friends around. Whatever the case may be, I would be honored to navigate this with you.

Ever feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world, trying to figure out who you are and where you fit in, but it all just feels too heavy? When you’re dealing with identity struggles, self-esteem issues, and the stress of trying to navigate relationships and work, it can feel like you’re always running on empty. The world isn’t always kind or understanding, and that can leave you feeling drained, anxious, or even lost. But here’s the thing—you don’t have to go through this alone.

Let's check in for a moment. Are you overwhelmed by stress, life transitions, and past unhealed wounds? Are you exhausted from the ongoing fight against social injustices? Or maybe you’re unsure what’s happening, but you know something feels “off.” Therapy is a valuable tool for holding space for your suffering, determining the roots of your pain, and developing new techniques to make meaningful life changes that support your mental health.

From the outside, you seem to have it all together. You work really hard on the details, after all, you are responsible for everyone and everything. But you can’t shake the voice inside your head which screams you’re failing. Even though you put everyone’s needs in front of your own, you feel like you’re falling short as a mom. You can’t even remember what your hobbies are, let alone what really makes you happy. You’ve had enough, you don’t think you can keep holding it together.
