Therapy for MENA & SWANA Clients

Growing up between two cultures is its own kind of experience. You may have spent years code-switching, managing family expectations, or feeling like you didn't fully belong anywhere. Maybe the weight of your family's sacrifices sits heavy on you, or you've never quite had a space to talk about what it's really like to be you.

I work with individuals of Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) descent, a term I use alongside SWANA (Southwest Asian & North African), which many in the community prefer as a way of reclaiming identity from Eurocentric and colonial language. Whatever term feels most like yours, you are welcome here.

I bring both professional training and a personal understanding of the MENA immigrant experience to our work together. That cultural context shapes how I listen, what I notice, and how I hold space for the complexity of your story.

In our sessions, we'll go beneath the surface. We may work with imagery, dreams, metaphor, and the deeper layers of your inner world, the parts that are harder to reach but often hold the most. This is a space for real exploration, healing, and growth at your own pace.

Whether you're navigating identity, family dynamics, trauma, anxiety, or simply trying to figure out who you are outside of everyone else's expectations, you deserve a space where your full self, both cultures, all of it, is welcome.
