Whether you’re working through anxiety, family dynamics, or just trying to find peace within yourself, I’ll support you in discovering your authentic self and learning to trust your internal guide.
As the eldest child of Sudanese immigrants, I know what it feels like to carry the weight of expectations—trying to be perfect while also supporting your family. Navigating the challenges of cultural identity, family pressures, and feeling misunderstood can be overwhelming, especially when you can’t find a therapist who relates to your experiences. That’s why I’m passionate about offering a space where you feel seen and heard, whether you're facing similar struggles or simply seeking personal growth and healing.

My clinical approach utilizes the modalities of Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and The Gottman Method of Couples Therapy, of which I am Level I certified.
I specialize in working with individuals and couples to explore dating, relationship patterns, attachment, and trauma. I'm especially passionate in supporting the queer community. Together, we work to identify and examine recurring patterns with care and curiosity. In individual work, this can look like exploring your early experiences that informed your attachment style and connecting these patterns to the way you show up or abandon yourself today. In relationship therapy, we bring awareness to the dynamic between partners these individual experiences create to deepen connection, enhance vulnerability, and improve communication.

Schedule online instantly through my website link in my bio! I specialize in supporting women to find clarity, courage, and abundance through major relationship transitions. Sometimes you just need to be deeply seen and heard with compassion, acceptance, and empathy. Compassion might not feel like enough, though. Sometimes you’ll want more active help sorting through some of the burdens you’re carrying. I’ll ask questions, offer alternative ways of looking at things, point out and question some of your assumptions, and sometimes suggest resources or strategies.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
