My approach is warm, patient, and straightforward. I work to help you connect to your intuition and inner wisdom so you can live a life that honors your values, legacy, and community. I am Egyptian American, and enjoy working with clients who hold complex identities, such as children of immigrants, transracial adoptees, and LGBTQ+ people of faith. Together we can explore the strengths and challenges of holding marginalized identities, and ways to move forward authentically.

I bring a warm and grounded presence to my work, blending Psychodynamic, Somatic, and Internal Family Systems approaches to create a culturally affirming space where clients can reconnect with their intuition, bodies, and authentic selves. I also draw on my training in trauma-informed yoga to support healing on the mental, physical, and spiritual levels. By integrating the mind, body, and spirit into therapy, I take a holistic approach to honor and recognize all the parts of you.

In our committed and collaborative work, we can explore all factors impacting your mental health, from political realities, injustice, to family dynamics, friendships, and intergenerational patterns. I am wholeheartedly dedicated to making space to explore your strengths, resilience, and gifts from your culture and family of origin.
