Great to meet you!

I’m a licensed mental health therapist fluent in English and Arabic, with a background in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and hypnotherapy. I work with individuals from diverse cultural and faith backgrounds, and I tailor my approach to each client’s unique needs and goals. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, offering a compassionate and supportive space for healing and growth.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and client-centered. I believe that each person’s experience is unique, so I tailor my therapeutic methods to meet your individual needs, strengths, and goals. I work from a place of empathy and nonjudgment, creating a safe and supportive environment where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences.

I draw from various evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. Depending on your needs, our work may focus on identifying and shifting unhelpful patterns, increasing self-awareness, developing coping strategies, healing from past trauma, or building confidence and emotional resilience.

I also value cultural sensitivity and integrate an understanding of your cultural and spiritual background into our work, honoring how those aspects shape your identity and experiences. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions, I will walk alongside you with care and curiosity as we work toward healing, growth, and lasting change.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to feel heard, supported, and empowered. My goal is to help you gain deeper self-awareness, develop practical coping strategies, and work through challenges with clarity and confidence. Together, we’ll focus on healing, personal growth, and creating meaningful change in your life.
