I was born and raised in Brooklyn by Yemeni parents who taught me that silence can be both survival and erasure. I became a therapist to hold space for the contradictions we carry: the longing for home, the pressure to assimilate, the inherited grief, the resistance to forget.


I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in New York and New Jersey, an adjunct professor, and a director at a Muslim nonprofit organization. My work centers the healing of those navigating culture, faith, migration, and intergenerational trauma, including many in the Muslim community. I am deeply engaged in community spaces, working to bridge the gap between mental health and the Muslim experience through education, access, and collective care.


My approach is narrative, relational, and decolonial. I see therapy not just as a path to feeling better, but as a space to make meaning, unlearn, and reclaim the parts of ourselves buried by survival. Healing doesn’t require perfection, it requires permission to be in process.


I welcome clients from all backgrounds and identities. My practice is especially attuned to those living at the intersections, those straddling multiple worlds, and those carrying stories that don’t fit neatly into any box.


Outside the therapy room, I teach, write, and speak about the crossroads of mental health, culture, and justice.
