Licensed Professional Counselor in Alexandria, VA

About My Clients

I work with individuals facing a variety of challenges, like anxiety, stress, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Whether you're struggling with self-esteem, managing emotions, or simply seeking a space to understand yourself better, I’m here to help. I also support clients dealing with trauma, perfectionism, and burnout, guiding them toward healthier coping strategies and emotional resilience. Whatever you're facing, we’ll work together to create meaningful changes.

My Background and Approach

My approach is rooted in empathy, active collaboration, and personalized care, ensuring each session is tailored to your needs. The therapeutic models that I pull from include Attachment Theory, CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic, and Trauma informed care, but my style is inclusive and I do not adhere to a one-size-fits all approach to therapy. I’ll guide you toward insights that promote lasting change, break unhelpful patterns, and help you develop effective strategies to navigate life’s challenges. At the heart of my work is the belief in the healing power of human connection, ensuring you feel respected, heard, and understood. I promote holistic transformation through self-compassion, empowered choice, and exploration of your strengths while respecting cultural practices. Whether you seek insight, need support through tough times, or want to create lasting change, I’m here to support you every step of the way in a warm, empathetic environment that centers your needs and strengths.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a first-generation Middle Eastern, I understand the nuances of intersectional identities and believe that no single one defines who we are. This belief helps me to recognize and appreciate all identities my clients encompass. My style is inclusive and not a one-size-fits all approach to therapy. I find a connection with you and we start from there.
