LCSW, 7 years of experience
Hello! As a licensed clinical therapist, I provide respectful and compassionate services to help you identify your goals, and support you in coping with challenges along the way to achieving them. I have a social justice orientation that recognizes the impact of oppression, discrimination, and marginalization on mental health. I believe that everyone deserves to be treated fairly and kindly, and that our behaviors serve a function, whether unhealthy or healthy, understood or misunderstood. I work with clients who struggle with various issues, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship problems, identity, and self-esteem. I use evidence-based approaches that are tailored to your unique needs and preferences. Some of the techniques I use include teaching skills around emotion regulation and distress tolerance, incorporating narrative therapy practices and cultural relational understanding of trauma and healing. My aim is to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. I will listen to you with empathy and curiosity, and help you find new ways of understanding and effectively responding to what is coming your way. Together, we will work on developing your strengths, fortifying your resiliency, and further embodying your values in your day-to-day life. If you are interested in working with me, please contact me to schedule a free consultation. I look forward to hearing from you and supporting you on your journey.
An organic conversation that will start with patient share on what prompted them to seek therapy.

One of my biggest strengths as a therapist is creating a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients. I value building trust with each client, and am curious about their unique perspectives, life experiences, and goals. I use a warm, empathic, and respectful approach that honors the client’s autonomy and agency. Another strength of mine is my integration of various therapeutic modalities that suit the client’s needs and preferences. I have training and experience in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, and trauma-informed care. I also incorporate mindfulness, self-compassion, and cultural humility into my practice. I believe that each client is the expert of their own life, and I aim to help them discover and utilize their inner resources and strengths. My niche is working with clients who identify as Muslim, a person of color, queer, and/or those engaged in or exploring alternative relationship arrangements (e.g. polyamory). As a second-generation daughter of Iraqi and Muslim immigrants, I have first-hand experience living at the cultural and political margins of society and am passionate about providing culturally sensitive and affirming services to clients who feel marginalized based on their divergence from societal norms, expectations and biases. I also recognize and celebrate the resilience, diversity, and richness of communities often facing stigma and isolation as a result of their difference. Embracing, accepting, celebrating, and loving our whole selves is a critical part of healing -- and the process is never perfect. I strive to create a safe and brave space where clients can express their authentic selves, explore their preferred reality, accept challenges to pre-existing programming, and heal from their wounds.
Adults passionate and motivated to engage meaningfully in therapy, and looking to be challenged.

Noor is hands down the best therapist I have ever had, and I have a life long experience in therapy. I venerate them in a multitude of ways but I most appreciate how present they are. I don't feel like a number, or just another client. When we are in session, there's no where I'd rather be in that moment. I feel supported, spoken to with respect, empowered, validated- but they are also honest with me when I need to pivot. The language, the tools, I wish I could say much more here- thank you Noor

Noor truly embodies the qualities of a great listener. From our very first session, I felt at ease sharing my thoughts and feelings with her. She has a unique ability to create a safe and welcoming environment, allowing me to open up without fear of judgment. Her feedback is insightful and constructive, helping me see my situation from new perspectives. I appreciate her thoughtful approach and I highly recommend Noor.

Noor's approach to therapy is non-traditional in the best way possible. She brings a non-Western medicine type approach to each conversation and I truly value how her humanist morals are clear and align with my own values. I appreciate the authenticity, humanity, and understanding Noor has for all types of struggles; she never approaches scenarios or feelings as things that are "wrong" or "bad" or need to be "fixed" which is truly the best thing ever. Thank you Noor!
