My perspectives toward therapy are informed by my experiences of migration, acculturation, my Shiite Muslim ancestry, and training in nondual contemplative traditions, including Buddhism. These lineages inform how I listen and how I understand emotional distress as something that unfolds within history, relationships, and social conditions.

I bring cultural humility and curiosity to our work together, with particular attention to how ancestry, religion, race, gender, class, and displacement may be shaping your life. Instead of locating symptoms solely within you, we explore how they may reflect adaptive responses to social oppression, relational injury, or inherited expectations, so that therapy addresses the root causes of your symptoms towards creating the life you truly desire.

My therapeutic approach integrates psychoanalysis, liberation psychology, Gestalt psychology, and Eastern spiritual practices.
