About me

My work is deeply shaped by my lived experience as a Palestinian with roots in the Arab world, and my connection to the Western world where I have lived and thrived. This blend allows me to hold space for complex identities, layered grief, intergenerational wounds, belonging, and the emotional impact of lived realities that many people carry quietly. My practice is rooted in an anti-oppressive and collective approach. Healing, for me, is not only individual but also relational. It happens in connection, in safety, and in spaces where your story is met with dignity, cultural humility, and compassion.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
Trauma Informed CareRecommended for those who have experienced trauma and need a safe, supportive space to heal at their own pace.
There is no single “right” way to heal. There is only your way, and your pace. My work is integrative and client-centered. I draw from a reservoir of therapeutic approaches and interventions, allowing the process to be flexible and responsive to what you need in the here and now. Depending on your goals and emotional needs, our work may include: • Psychodynamic psychotherapy • Trauma-informed therapy • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) • Somatic-informed approaches • Mindfulness-based interventions • Emotionally informed work • Solution-focused therapy • Inner child exploration • H.E.A.L. with compassionate questioning techniques • Emotional intelligence frameworks within coaching Some sessions will feel reflective and deep. Others will feel structured and practical. Both matter. Both belong.
