A little bit about me
When my family and I moved to the US, we desperately tried to preserve our Mexican and Palestinian traditions while navigating through belonging to a new and different culture. My relationship with my cultures of origin, coupled with my presence in American society, fostered in me an openness and curiosity towards diverse views, cultures, lifestyles, and ideas.
Today, diversity is not just a concept to me- it makes me who I am. And based on this, I strive to create an inclusive space where my clients can feel comfortable and safe regardless of gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, political ideologies, relationship structures, etc.
My number one priority as a therapist is for my clients to feel heard, understood, and connected!
I am passionate about supporting couples nurture meaningful and fulfilling relationships.
