Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
My path to becoming a therapist began while working in a medical setting where I regularly met immigrant patients who were struggling to connect with the mental health resources available to them. I noticed that some hesitated to seek support because they did not feel understood or represented by the providers they were referred to. As a first-generation American, Arabic speaker, and visibly Muslim woman, I realized I could help bridge that gap by providing a space where clients from similar backgrounds could feel seen, understood, and valued. This experience inspired me to pursue therapy and support individuals navigating the intersection of mental health, culture, identity, and belonging.
