My experiences and interests give me a unique understanding of…
- The challenges faced by individuals navigating mental health, addiction, intergenerational experiences, and major life transitions.
- The impact of trauma, chronic stress, and societal pressures on emotional and psychological well-being, especially through my lens as a public health and mental health advocate.
- The role of language and cultural identity in mental health, shaped by both my background and my work with refugees, newcomers, and Indigenous communities.
- How to integrate evidence-based approaches with a client-centered perspective to foster a compassionate and supportive space for healing.
- The importance of creating a space where clients from all walks of life, regardless of ethnicity, faith, or background, feel understood, valued, and safe to explore their struggles freely.
My cultural or ancestral background is…
- Informed by my lived experience growing up bilingual and bicultural as a speaker of both Arabic and English in a richly diverse environment.
My clients describe me using words like…
- Compassionate, understanding, and insightful.
- Able to create a safe, non-judgmental space where they feel heard
- Has a patient, deeply empathetic, and intuitive approach that makes them feel supported and empowered.
