You deserve therapy that affirms your identity and understands how queerness, family, and mental health intersect. Whether you’re navigating relationships, coming out, or healing from cultural or religious pressure, this space is safe, nuanced, and supportive.
The LGBTQ+ community experiences mental health issues like depression or anxiety three times as often as the rest of the population.
Finding affirming and supportive healthcare or emotional support providers can be challenging. That's why it's crucial to work with therapists who understand the unique experiences and needs of the LGBTQ+ community.
Growing up as an Arab American, I've witnessed the interplay of cultural values and personal identity cause distress to the ones I love most. While I don't share the lived experience of being LGBTQ+, I bring a deep understanding of how cultural and societal dynamics can impact personal journeys. My role as an ally is to listen, validate, and support your journey without judgment. I work to provide an inclusive environment where you feel valued and heard.
I'm Arab American, and my experience growing up in a collectivist culture helps me understand how cultural values can affect coming out and family dynamics.
In collectivist cultures, the focus is often on the group, like family or community, rather than individual choices. This can make coming out more complex because it may feel like it affects the whole family, not just the person.
Understanding these cultural values helps me provide support that respects both individual needs and family connections.
Boundaries are more than just a buzzword—they're powerful tools for creating autonomy and gaining control over your life and experiences. Together, we'll work to develop boundaries that feel realistic and achievable for you, helping you reclaim your sense of agency.
I'll gently challenge you along the way because you deserve the benefits that come from stepping into your power and taking control of your life.
Growth can be uncomfortable, but it leads to meaningful and lasting change.
Research shows that the strongest predictor of therapeutic success isn't the therapist or method used—it's the strength of a client's social network outside of sessions. You, and no one else, should face life's challenges alone. In today's digital age, finding online communities is easier than ever, though forming in-person connections can still feel daunting.
But it's far from impossible. Many communities have recognized this struggle and are taking active steps to create safe and welcoming spaces offline. Whether it's open group D&D safe spaces or leveraging technology to foster connection, we'll work together to help you build your own community and, if needed, your Found Family.
