A Little About Me
My Practice
I graduated from The American University in Cairo with a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology. Since then, I have been practicing individual and group therapy for adults and late teens.
I have experience working with clients struggling with anxiety, loss, life transitions, identity exploration, emotion regulation, and relationship issues. Importantly, I have been always interested in supporting individuals from diverse ethnic, gender, beliefs, sexual orientation, and cultural backgrounds. This breadth of experience has instilled in me a deep appreciation for the nuances of each person's lived experience.
I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey that fosters personal growth and healing. I work with the "Person-Centered Approach" that focuses mainly on using the person's own strengths, values, and deep wisdom to overcome life challenges. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and other modalities to build a customized plan for each client. There is no generic, one-size-fits-all prescriptions here. Your background, beliefs, experiences, values, and preferences are highly considered. I will invite you to collaborate with me to create a customized roadmap that addresses your specific needs.
What I'm Like
I am a person who walked the same path myself. I know how it feels to be on the other side of the room, facing your own struggles and working to confront your inner demons. I understand the challenge of asking for help and finding the right person to open up to.
As I walk this journey alongside my clients, I do so with the sensitivity and humility of someone who knows how hard and challenging the journey can be. I bring a heightened sense of understanding and attunement to our work together.
Authenticity, transparency, and a touch of humor are woven throughout my practice. I value your input and encourage open dialogue, ensuring that your voice is central to our work. I also encourage deep exploration of thoughts and feelings by inviting you to delve into your emotions and experiences at your own pace.
While I do have some structure to my sessions, I'm not rigidly adhering to a plan. I leave room for fluidity and exploration. You will find me actively listen and reflect back what I'm hearing, asking thoughtful questions to deepen our understanding. I also believe in gently challenging unhelpful patterns or perspectives when appropriate. Throughout our work, I'll regularly check in to ensure we're making progress towards your objectives.

Our initial conversation will be focused on getting to know each other. I'll share a bit about my background, approach, and the way I like to work, ensuring we're on the same page about the collaborative nature of our relationship.
I'll invite you to share a bit about what brought you to therapy and what you hope to gain from our work together. This is your opportunity to express your needs, concerns, and goals.
