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'm a second-generation immigrant, neurodivergent, and gender-affirming therapist who believes you are the expert on your own life. My approach is humanistic, collaborative, and trauma-informed, creating a space where you can show up authentically—no performances necessary. I enjoy working with youth, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, healthy communication, LGBTQ+ mental health, and life transitions. I have a special passion for supporting second-generation immigrants and those balancing the expectations of family, culture, school, work, and relationships. Together, we'll move at a pace that feels right for you, exploring your story with curiosity, compassion, and practical tools while honoring your strengths. My goal is to help you heal from past wounds, reconnect with yourself, and build a life that feels more aligned with who you are.

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 am a black therapist who believes healing begins with feeling understood. I approach this work with steadiness, compassion, and deep respect for the complexity of each person’s lived experience. As a Navy veteran and former Division I and professional athlete and coach, my core identities shape how I show up in the therapy room. They ground my commitment to integrity, cultural humility, and creating spaces where clients feel genuinely seen and safe. My background also gives me unique insight into high-performance environments, leadership roles, and major life transitions.

I view therapy as a partnership. You bring your story, your wisdom, and your lived insight. I bring curiosity, reflection, and a grounded presence that makes it safe to explore what has been difficult to name. Early sessions focus on building trust, clarity, and a strong therapeutic alliance, while laying practical foundations so our work feels purposeful and anchored.

My approach includes thoughtful assessment, collaborative goal-setting, and psychoeducation to help make sense of patterns related to trauma, attachment, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and nervous system responses. We may gently unpack cultural messages and intergenerational burdens while developing grounding tools to support you through difficult conversations and decisions. As therapy deepens, many clients experience greater self-trust, reduced shame, stronger boundaries, and a more integrated sense of identity.

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’m an EMDR-trained, trauma-informed therapist who creates a grounded, steady space for you to explore your experiences at your own pace. I specialize in trauma—including complex trauma and trauma related to religion and spirituality—and support clients navigating grief, anxiety, identity, and relational challenges. My work is collaborative, relational, and rooted in helping you make sense of your experiences in a way that feels meaningful and empowering.

I began my career in chaplaincy and spiritual care, which continues to shape how I show up in this work. I’m especially influenced by liberation-based approaches that view healing as both personal and collective.

I’m a relational, trauma-informed therapist who works from a systemic lens, helping you explore patterns, identity, and relationships within the context of culture and your lived experience. I specialize in trauma, relationships, and body-based healing, and I create a space that feels both grounding and gently challenging.

My experience as a queer, neurodivergent, and fat woman has informed my approach, and I stay grounded in anti-oppressive, feminist, and culturally responsive frameworks. I believe effective therapy must honor the complex realities of race, culture, gender, systemic oppression, and intergenerational trauma. I hold these truths with care, approaching your story with curiosity, respect, and cultural humility.

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.
