I am a second generation Syrian-American Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Brooklyn, New York. I lead with curiosity. My approach is holistic, eclectic, client-centered, and collaborative. I integrate trauma and somatic informed modalities, mindfulness-based practices, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), or parts-work, to support individuals in noticing patterns and making choices to live more liberated lives. I believe that all humans have the capacity to rewire their brains, reframe narratives, heal and connect with their most joyful and authentic selves.

Specialities include trauma focused therapy, mindfulness, and IFS approaches to address whatever you bring through the door, including anxiety, depression and themes of interpersonal relationships, family dynamics, work-related stress, grief and loss, life changes, cultural identity and intersectionality, inner resources, home, community, and belonging.

I believe you are the authority of your experience. The journey is yours. I am committed to meeting you where you are and building a non-judgmental relationship that fosters awareness and growth.
