Faith can be an important viewpoint to consider when exploring healing and if my clients want, it is welcome within our sessions. I am a wholehearted believer that there is ease within our struggles. To me, this means there are many different avenues for relief for our issues and I strive to be at least one of the avenues of comfort to another person’s struggle or difficulties. One of my favorite quotes is “Be the moon in somebody’s night. Be the ease during someone’s hardship” – Yasmin Mogahed. I am a bilingual counselor fluent in Arabic and my counselor style consists of CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, Person Centered, DBT informed, and Narrative Therapy. There is no one size fits all approach, and it is my goal to meet every client where they are within their therapeutic healing. I am passionate about increasing awareness for mental health in the Muslim, Arab population, BIPOC communities, and woman from different backgrounds. I know that I make a difference within these communities and I hope to continue to shine my gifts with others and help them grow.”
