New to Grow
As a first-generation Arab-American, I grew up navigating two very different cultures. These experiences shaped my understanding of identity, values, and belonging. I work with young adults and adults from all backgrounds who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about their direction. My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and values-based, with room for curiosity and humor. Together, we’ll clarify what matters most to you and work toward building a life that feels aligned and intentional. I strive to create a space that is inclusive, culturally responsive, and affirming. As a parent, I also understand how life transitions can shift your sense of self and priorities.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other to see if we feel like a good fit. We’ll discuss what’s bringing you to therapy, what feels most challenging, and what you’re hoping to get out of this space. I’ll ask questions to better understand your background, current stressors, and what matters most to you. There’s no pressure to share everything at once; we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable and respectful of your nervous system and mental capacity. By the end of the session, we’ll begin identifying themes, values, and possible goals for our work together. You can expect a collaborative and supportive conversation with room for curiosity and reflection. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard and grounded.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
One of my greatest strengths is creating a safe space to share your story. Clients often tell me I make them feel understood without being judged or pathologized. I’m experienced with clients who are navigating ADHD, burnout, identity shifts, and the mental load of motherhood. Using an ACT-informed framework, I help build psychological flexibility; teaching you to relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions so you can move toward what matters most, even when things feel hard. I follow a humanistic approach that is values-based and flexible. The ACT approach is ideal for those who want support that feels compassionate and realistic rather than rigid, clinical, or judgmental.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I’m best positioned to work with millennial moms and adult women who feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or disconnected from themselves. Many of my clients are navigating identity shifts, burnout, ADHD, or the mental load that comes with motherhood, relationships, and modern life. I work well with clients who are thoughtful, self-aware, and curious about understanding themselves more deeply. I’m a good fit for women who value an inclusive, culturally responsive, and affirming therapeutic space.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
This describes my overarching approach to therapy, helping clients build psychological flexibility to handle common stressors in life.
