Description
If you're experiencing depression, grief, anxiety, relationship challenges, or life transitions, I'm here to offer compassionate and culturally-informed support. As a Black Muslim therapist of Somali heritage, my practice combines lived experience with evidence-based methods like CBT, EFT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, and trauma-informed care. Together, we can create a supportive space to empower your healing journey and personal growth.
