Therapy for the people who live between worlds.
I'm Salma — a therapist-in-training based in Greater Los Angeles, learning to support adults who carry the quiet pressure of holding two cultures, two languages, and a whole lot of expectations all at once.
a short hello
A short hello
I grew up between worlds, and I noticed early on that I was the person friends and family came to when something felt too heavy to carry alone. What started as instinct became a calling — through psychology at Cal Poly Pomona, and now through my Master's in Counseling at Concordia University Irvine.

How I think about this work
I don't believe people are broken. The things that feel like "too much" — the anxiety, the second-guessing, the way you've learned to hold it all together — are often strategies that helped you survive something earlier. I'm training to be the kind of therapist who notices that, and meets you there.

Who I'll work with
Adults — and especially people I share something in common with. Arab and MENA, Latino, first-generation Americans, and women carrying the weight of family, faith, and career expectations.
