Bio

Originally from the Middle East, I was once an international student at WVU where I completed my undergraduate studies in psychology. I earned my master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Arcadia University at the outskirts of Philadelphia. I worked as a clinician in community mental health settings mostly with teens and adolescence, addressing complex trauma and skill building. I am a part-time artist, and have integrated art into some therapeutic interventions and for outreach purposes as well.
