I believe in creating a therapeutic environment rooted in trust, empathy, and cultural understanding. My approach blends evidence-based practices with personalized care that honors your unique experiences and background. As your therapist, I collaborate with you as an active participant in your healing journey—respecting your insights and preferences while offering professional guidance.
​
Drawing from my diverse background, I bring an awareness of how cultural factors influence mental health and tailor treatment to reflect that understanding. I help you recognize and build upon your existing strengths while developing new skills to navigate life’s challenges. This strengths-based approach empowers you to tap into your own resilience and capabilities.
 
I take a holistic view of well-being—considering mental, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual dimensions—recognizing how these elements are deeply interconnected. While we acknowledge and explore past experiences, I emphasize practical, forward-focused strategies using solution-oriented techniques to support meaningful change.

For individuals who have experienced trauma, I provide trauma-informed care, offering a safe, compassionate space designed to promote healing without retraumatization. At Salama Center for Mental Health, you’ll find a warm, judgment-free environment where we work together to cultivate self-awareness, emotional balance, and lasting personal growth.
