How I Can Help

I am a warm, thoughtful, and relational therapist who believes that healing happens in the context of connection. I bring an embodied understanding of the ways identity, belonging, and safety intersect—especially for those navigating systems that have historically left them unseen. My approach is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and grounded in deep respect for the unique story each person or couple brings into the room.

My international experience living and working across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and North Africa has shaped a culturally humble, globally-informed lens.
