Having embraced the richness of human experiences, I wholeheartedly understand the complexities of navigating and making sense of the world around us. Before moving from Cairo to the Netherlands, I had the privilege of living in diverse corners of the world, witnessing firsthand the multifaceted experience of being an expat, an immigrant, and a queer-identifying person of color in a heteronormative and capitalist society. As we embark on this therapeutic journey, I bring these valuable experiences to our discussions, supporting you in making sense of your feelings and experiences.

Throughout my master's degree, I've had the honor of working with a diverse range of clients, exploring themes that encompass depression, anxiety, self-esteem, sexuality, identity, and trauma. Additionally, I've delved into exploring relational elements, encompassing both social and romantic dynamics, such as navigating polyamory and fostering intimacy. Having worked in a clinical practice, I have witnessed the profound impact of talk therapy in the realms of medicine and psychiatry.

In my therapeutic style, I embrace an integrative approach, drawing from psychodynamic, existential, and client-centered techniques. Moreover, I've received training in schema therapy and CBT modalities. Acknowledging the uniqueness of each individual, I tailor my approach to honor your personal needs, taking into account the intersectionality of gender identity/expression, sexuality, race, ethnicity, and personal history. To create a flourishing therapeutic experience, I believe in a collaborative process where both therapist and client work together, co-creating a safe, inclusive space where you can feel truly heard, seen, supported, and connected.

My services are offered in both English and Arabic, ensuring that our therapeutic journey is comfortable and accessible to you.

If you're ready to embark on a transformative path towards self-discovery and growth, I'm here to support and empower you every step of the way. Let's create a space where you can explore, heal, and embrace your authentic self.
