New to Grow
You may be here because you’re facing emotional challenges such as depression, anxiety, unresolved grief, trauma, or major life transitions. Experiences like moving homes, changing careers, or navigating the foster care system can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself and your relationships. With a strong background in supporting clients through depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and life transitions, I help individuals identify and work through the barriers impacting their emotional well-being. As an Arabic-speaking therapist, I understand the importance of language, culture, and feeling truly understood in the healing process. I am committed to creating a safe, compassionate, and culturally responsive space where clients feel genuinely heard and supported. My work is grounded in a person-centered approach, and each session is thoughtfully tailored to your unique experiences, needs, and goals. Together, we will build a nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen, understood, and empowered. Whether you are navigating emotional pain, unresolved loss, or a significant transition, I am here to walk alongside you. If you’re ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out so we can begin a conversation about how I can support you.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In a first session with me, clients can expect a warm, welcoming, and structured experience designed to help them feel comfortable while laying the groundwork for therapy.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to balance insight with practical change. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as CBT with attachment-based and psychodynamic perspectives to help clients understand the root of their challenges while also developing concrete skills to manage emotions, thoughts, and relationships. I provide a warm, attuned, and nonjudgmental therapeutic space where clients feel safe exploring vulnerable experiences. I am especially skilled at identifying relational patterns, attachment dynamics, and unhelpful beliefs that keep clients feeling stuck. Clients often report increased self-awareness, improved emotional regulation, and stronger, more secure relationships as a result of our work together.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am best positioned to work with individuals, couples, and families who are seeking greater self-understanding, emotional balance, and healthier relationships. Many of my clients feel stuck in recurring patterns related to anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, attachment wounds, or life transitions. They may be high-functioning yet emotionally overwhelmed, self-critical, or disconnected from themselves or others. My ideal clients are open to reflection and growth, even if they feel uncertain or discouraged. They value insight but also want practical tools to create change in their daily lives and relationships. Whether you are looking to heal past experiences, strengthen emotional connections, improve communication, or develop healthier ways of coping, I work collaboratively to support meaningful and lasting change.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help individuals, couples, and families understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. CBT allows us to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, challenge beliefs that contribute to distress, and develop practical coping and communication skills. I take a collaborative, goal-oriented approach, helping clients apply these tools in daily life to create meaningful and sustainable change in relationships and emotional well-being.
Attachment-based
I use an attachment-based approach to help clients understand how early relationships shape emotional patterns, expectations, and connection in current relationships. By exploring attachment needs and relational dynamics, we work to strengthen emotional safety, improve communication, and foster more secure and satisfying bonds with self and others.
Psychodynamic
I incorporate psychodynamic therapy to help clients gain insight into unconscious patterns, past experiences, and relational themes that influence present-day thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through reflection and exploration of emotional experiences, this approach supports deeper self-understanding, emotional growth, and lasting change.
