My work strives to name that violence and to be accountable to those impacted by it within my reach … and to find the beautiful, ever-changing moments of co-created meaning and possibilities that emerge when we pay deep and engaged attention. I have learnt that one way in which hope can be practiced is in treating each other as if the world we need and deserve is already here, and in so doing, we bring that world into being.

My practice is concerned with the impacts of collective violence, systemic inequities, and oppressive social discourses. I have been developing a politically informed, narrative, relational, and intersectional approach since 2008. I strive to engage in liberatory processes that nourish the capacity of marginalized folks to creatively respond, resist, heal, and move through their worlds with attention to possibilities. Individual therapy is offered online. Accessing virtual care from your chosen safe place (along with a pet if you’d like) is both accessible and can be helpful. We can work together in Arabic (Shami dialect), English and French. Fees for psychotherapy are proposed on a sliding scale and can be discussed any time that your situation changes. Several of the people I work with pay what they can at each session, including well above the maximum fee when possible. In so doing, we are in a community of practice in our shared imaginary and solidarity. With this approach to payment I can offer free mental health evaluations for legal purposes to individuals living in precarious social positions, as well as pro bono community grief and suicide themed workshops.

My academic and therapeutic work reflects my own and my family’s storytelling traditions and generational paths towards healing, while also engaging with and learning from Indigenous resilience and communities.

Mon travail s'efforce de nommer cette violence et d'être responsable envers ceux et celles qui sont impacté.e.s dans mes sphères d’influence… et de trouver les moments de sens et de possibilités en évolution constante qui émergent lorsque nous y prêtons une attention engagée et profonde. J'ai appris que l'espoir peut être pratiqué en se comportant les uns envers les autres comme si le monde dont nous avons besoin et que nous méritons était déjà là, et ce faisant, nous créons ce monde.

Ma pratique porte sur les impacts de la violence collective, des inégalités systémiques et des discours sociaux oppressifs. Depuis 2008, je développe une approche politique, narrative, relationnelle et intersectionnelle. Je m'efforce de m'engager dans des processus libérateurs qui nourrissent la capacité des personnes marginalisées à répondre de manière créative, à résister, à guérir et à évoluer dans leur monde en accordant une attention particulière aux possibilités. La thérapie individuelle est proposée en ligne. L'accès à des soins virtuels depuis le lieu sûr de votre choix (en compagnie de votre animal de compagnie si vous le souhaitez) est à la fois accessible et utile. Nous pouvons travailler ensemble en arabe (dialecte shami), en anglais et en français. Les honoraires pour la psychothérapie sont proposés selon un barème dégressif et peuvent être discutés à tout moment si votre situation change. Plusieurs des personnes avec lesquelles je travaille paient ce qu'elles peuvent à chaque séance, y compris bien au-delà du tarif maximum lorsqu'elles en ont les moyens. Ce faisant, nous formons une communauté de pratique dans notre imaginaire et notre solidarité communs. Grâce à cette approche du paiement, je peux offrir des évaluations gratuites de la santé mentale à des fins juridiques aux personnes vivant dans des situations sociales précaires, ainsi que des ateliers communautaires bénévoles sur les thèmes du deuil et du suicide.

Examples of ableism perpetuated by rehabilitation include the reinforcement of discourses of normality and the concentration of power and resources into institutions and professional activities at the expense of initiatives led by the disabled. I’ll be facilitating a session on Accountability and Disability Justice on June 15th.

Please join me and several others on May 19th for a panel co-hosted by the Lancet Commission on Health Professionals. Description: Public health crises are becoming increasingly complex. The COVID-19 pandemic is indicative of a broader set of acute and chronic threats to health, health equity and well-being in the 21st century. In the face of these challenges, a high premium is being placed on leadership for health that spans the local to global and stretches across sectors and public-private divides. Through a focus on hot topic issues and animated by thought leaders, this forum will consider how fit-for-purpose leadership for health can be nurtured more effectively though health professional training. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d8b24ca3671749533e9aa1/89945eee-1465-4fe6-9201-2f45580d6308/thumbnail_Image-1.png Events - Social Accountability in Occupational Therapy Town Hall This open access town hall is aimed towards US based OT students, clinicians and organizations. Speakers will include students and occupational therapy practitioners with lived experiences of ableism, racism, homophobia, and other forms of oppression. They will be discussing their work in social justice and health equity within the profession of occupational therapy. https://www.kaleidoscopicemergence.space/supervision-1 daily 0.75 2025-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d8b24ca3671749533e9aa1/bd670a72-bd4b-482c-9119-8d5e5319a835/Screen+Shot+2023-09-05+at+2.09.13+PM.jpg Supervision & Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d8b24ca3671749533e9aa1/68487525-fa9a-4601-9e25-ba5ba24ee089/Screen+Shot+2021-12-30+at+6.51.04+PM.png Supervision & Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d8b24ca3671749533e9aa1/78123a2d-20db-43ae-bfb0-22c897794042/3CA0697C-38AC-4279-9D5A-D56B61AC33A4.jpg Supervision & Workshops https://www.kaleidoscopicemergence.space/new-page daily 0.75 2025-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d8b24ca3671749533e9aa1/bd670a72-bd4b-482c-9119-8d5e5319a835/Screen+Shot+2023-09-05+at+2.09.13+PM.jpg Supervision & Ateliers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d8b24ca3671749533e9aa1/68487525-fa9a-4601-9e25-ba5ba24ee089/Screen+Shot+2021-12-30+at+6.51.04+PM.png Supervision & Ateliers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d8b24ca3671749533e9aa1/d0f028c6-a719-45aa-8967-4ea159a650ff/3CA0697C-38AC-4279-9D5A-D56B61AC33A4.jpg Supervision & Ateliers
