Therapeutic Approach
I am currently a pre-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with individuals, couples, and families through a systemic and socially attuned lens.
Rooted in Narrative and Contextual therapies, my approach is collaborative and grounded in curiosity. I specialize in helping clients navigate relational challenges, life transitions, emotional distress, and the lasting impact of intergenerational trauma. My work is informed by a deep understanding of how cultural, societal, and familial systems shape our sense of self and relationships.
As a queer Palestinian woman and advocate for accessible, affirming care, I am committed to creating inclusive therapeutic spaces where clients feel seen and are empowered. I believe healing happens in relationships when we feel safe enough to show up fully and explore the stories we’ve been told, the ones we carry, and the ones we long to live into.
Education
I recently graduated with my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Drexel University. During that time, I trained at PHL Therapy Collective.
