I believe in the transformative power of connection, seeing healing as inherently relational. My approach emphasizes community, creativity, and play, promoting curiosity and openness. I also understand how well-being is linked to context, environment, and history, alongside systemic factors. As an Arab woman, my cultural identity and lived experience guide my commitment to trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, culturally sensitive care as I walk beside you. While using a range of tools (e.g., art, somatic and breath work), I aim to co-create a safe, supportive space that empowers you to reframe challenges and find new paths to wellness.

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

We have helped individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As relational therapists, we appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being. We do not see clients as having something wrong with their minds that necessarily needs to be fixed.

We see strengths and we see hope, even when it feels like there is none.

Trauma can profoundly alter how we view ourselves, others, and the world. You might feel guilty, ashamed or overwhelmed thinking of your past experiences. It’s common to find it hard to trust others and to feel anxious about the safety of the world around you. You may be grappling with your identity, feeling disconnected from yourself, or overwhelmed by emotions. Despite the challenges you encounter, my goal is to ensure you feel not only supported but truly understood, acknowledged, and empowered.

I believe that everyone is on a unique journey, following their own path, which makes us all special. As we navigate this journey, we bring our individual strengths, abilities, and skills to heal, grow, and foster meaningful connections. Two people can share the same experience yet perceive it differently, influenced by a variety of personal factors. I view each person as a whole, considering their emotional, cognitive, social, and spiritual dimensions, rather than focusing on just one aspect. This holistic perspective is what I call a humanistic approach to therapy.

***NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS FOR PHONE/VIDEO**** People enter my office for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they find it difficult to make a decision or feel that they cannot get out of a vicious circle of problems, struggle to adapt to new conditions or don’t feel safe, and sometimes it is simply difficult for them to live from day to day due to mental health or physical concerns. Sometimes they want to help their loved ones and don't know how. They often want to feel free from feelings of hopelessness and helplessness, overcome the struggles and move forward.

I am constantly amazed by the complex ability of the human mind to be resilient, to grow from trauma, and to heal, in similar but individualistic ways.

A way to create positive, lasting change to help you heal and grow from whatever is haunting you. Something to help you live life joyously, on your terms.

I believe every individual is the expert on their own lives, and that each has innate strengths to draw upon. I have helped people grow, notice patterns, and gain insights, and thereby, to reclaim control of their lives. I appreciate that the past plays a big role in shaping who we are and how we view and manage situations, and so I respect each person’s upbringing, experiences, and differences: these make us unique! As such, I recognize no single model or intervention works for everyone – there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach. Instead, I tailor sessions and interventions for you and your specific issues, experiences, and needs.
