My communication style

I encourage approaching therapy as equals with my clients. I strongly believe that the therapeutic relationship is what helps contribute to change. I also strive to interject humor where appropriate. I look at therapy to share our struggles and celebrate our wins as well.

My journey to mental healthcare

What drove me as a therapist was seeing less middle eastern males in the field and really appreciating wanting to have that myself growing up.

My goals for you

I consider goal setting as a fluid process. As you get closer to your goals, you may want to expand on your work or even notice other concerns emerging. I am a firm believer that goals need to be meaningful for clients to be helpful.

Our first session

The first session is mostly getting to know each other, establishing goals, what therapy is (for new clients), and how I personally approach therapy.

I identify as...

• Male
• Middle Eastern
• Agnostic
