I'm a Palestinian/Iraqi immigrant woman that grew up Muslim in America. I provide culturally responsive therapy for immigrant women or children of immigrants, but I also have a variety of clients from all walks of life.
I am a licensed independent clinical social worker and I received my Masters Degree in Social Work from Boston College. (My first Master's Degree was in Education from Rutgers University - which means I also do a lot of psychoeducation in my sessions!) I've worked with students with disabilities, in college counseling centers, in group practices, and now I have my own private practice.
Prior to being a therapist, I worked in higher education with college students for thirteen years.

Frequently asked questions
Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Massachusetts
Searching for therapists in Massachusetts starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Across the state, options can vary between urban areas, suburban communities, and more rural regions, so it helps to focus your search early. You may want a therapist who works with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, therapeutic approach, and bio to see whether their training and style align with what you want from care.
Practical fit matters, too. If you live near Boston, Worcester, or Springfield, you may have more in-person options nearby, while virtual therapy can expand your choices across Massachusetts. Consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking. Reading profiles can also help you understand how a therapist structures sessions, communicates, and describes their approach to care.
The cost of therapy in Massachusetts can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, may take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Browse therapists in Massachusetts, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
