can feel different.
“We don’t have to keep repeating the patterns that keep us apart.”

I offer both Radically Open DBT and Full Standard DBT programs. Radically Open DBT helps you increase openness and flexibility, strengthen social connections, and cultivate more fulfilling relationships. Full Standard DBT is a comprehensive year-long program designed to help you regulate emotions, tolerate distress, and build a life worth living.
Both programs include skills training and ongoing practice.
A multicultural lens
Therapy that makes room for your whole story.
As an Iraqi-American who grew up in Chicago speaking Arabic and Spanish, and has lived across Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East, I bring a deeply multicultural lens to my work.
I understand the complexity of family expectations, identity, belonging, and building a life that remains connected to your roots while still feeling authentically yours.
