About

I work with young adults, children of immigrants, and people navigating queer/religious identity. My clients are often mixed race/ethnicity, and feel the weight of being a "model minority", and/or the loneliness of living between cultures in a place that often erases and devalues BIPOC identity. They might deal with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or relationship/familial/community challenges rooted in these complex intersections. In a world that often asks us to fragment ourselves, I offer a space built on shared understanding, where no part of your identity feels like a contradiction. I provide therapy through an intersectional feminist lens, first building a trusting relationship with clients to create a solid foundation for the deeper work. At times I use art as a jumping-off point for conversation. I was raised in Arab Muslim community, and use this experience to create space where context is understood without exhausting explanations.
