I am non-binary (they/them) and live at the intersection of my culture and LGBTQIA+ identity—these parts of me inform how I show up as a therapist. I love working with Gen Z (ages 18–26), especially LGBTQIA+ folks, creatives, and anyone navigating identity exploration, trauma, depression, anxiety, substance use, or life transitions. My approach is integrative and human-centered, blending somatic practices, mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I focus on helping you connect more deeply with your body, inner world, and the parts of you that need care and attention.My style is warm, direct, and relational, rooted in curiosity and safety. I draw from psychodynamic, relational-cultural, and trauma-informed approaches to help you unpack your story, feel affirmed, and grow into the fullest version of yourself.

I am Egyptian and proud of my Arab culture, which I bring into the therapy space with intention and care. I offer sessions in Arabic, though it’s important that clients also speak English, as my bicultural lens shapes how I work. If you’re looking for a therapist who understands the immigrant experience and honors cultural identity, I may be a good fit. Women’s issues are near and dear to my heart, but working with men from my culture has become a growing area of curiosity and connection for me as well. I support individuals navigating relationships issues, anxiety, burnout, childhood wounds, and life transitions, with a special focus on first-generation, BIPOC, and immigrant clients. My style is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. Working with me would be a good fit if you have recently been experiencing symptoms of PTSD, depression, and anxiety. In my work I also draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Person-Centered, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Gottman Method for couples, I tailor treatment to your unique needs, offering compassionate and effective care for you. Together we’ll create space for reflection, healing, and growth.

I am a second-generation Pinay therapist with Ilokano, Kalinga, and Ifugao roots, offering a person-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally grounded approach that integrates Expressive Arts Therapy, somatic practices, and Narrative Therapy. I support BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and immigrant communities—including youth, adults, and those navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, and burnout. Warm, collaborative, and rooted in cultural humility, I prioritize agency and create a decolonized, consent-based space where clients can explore new ways of relating to challenges. Drawing from my background as an interdisciplinary artist and founder of AGASAN, I incorporate creative modalities—such as sound and music, poetry, movement, and visual arts—to help clients externalize experiences, deepen reflection, and cultivate pathways of healing and transformation.

I specialize in working with adults and couples who find themselves feeling stuck, whether in painful relationship dynamics, old emotional patterns that keep repeating themselves, or the invisible but very real weight of depression, anxiety, trauma, or PTSD. I also support clients through issues related to identity, cultural expectations, and intergenerational trauma, helping people bridge the gap between where they come from and who they are becoming.
