Hi! I am a queer, Syrian clinical psychologist who specializes in psychological testing, and working with the LGBTQ+ community and treating folks dealing with OCD, minority stress, depression, anxiety, and phobias. I also provide gender affirming care for individuals 12 and older who are at various stages in their gender journey. I enjoy working with folks navigating gender identity exploration/transition, as well as sexual and racial identity development. I write letters of support for gender affirming surgery, and can typically get folks in within a week. I also provide ADHD testing and diagnostic assessments for folks 12 and up. My approach to therapy is collaborative and meant to empower my clients in setting and reaching goals that are values-based. I employ an integrative approach and draw from various therapeutic orientations, but at my core, I am an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy practitioner. With regard to OCD, I have extensive training in exposure and response prevention. I hope to be able to assist you in your journey, whether it is in navigating the world as a trans, non-binary, or gender expansive person, an LGBTQ individual, a person of color, or if your goal is to decrease the impact of mental health concerns on your life and your ability to engage in your values. Please take the first step in reaching out for help!
