Having spent numerous years abroad, I have garnered a profound appreciation for diverse worldviews, a perspective that significantly informs my practice. As a Palestinian-Canadian, I am deeply passionate about guiding individuals through the delicate dance of straddling two cultures. I believe that embracing this duality can lead to profound personal growth and empowerment. I primarily support clients from cultured backgrounds with navigating identity, family dynamics, and symptoms of anxiety.
As a mother of two, I am also aware of how parenting can create tremendous and life-altering changes to our perception of who we are, our relationships with others and our place in the world. I help guide and support parents through this transition and the struggles that arise within themselves and their partnership.
I employ a diverse range of methodologies and interventions, each carefully curated to reflect the unique lived experiences of my clients. Every aspect of my work is rooted in trauma-informed care, ensuring that each client feels seen, heard, and valued.
