Therapist | Trauma-Informed | Culturally Grounded | Holistic Healer

Basma earned her Master’s in Social Work from Aurora University and brings a rich, multicultural perspective to her work as a therapist. Having lived in five countries, survived two wars, and immigrated to the United States as a refugee, Basma has a deep, lived understanding of resilience, transformation, and the complexity of human experience. These life transitions have not only shaped her identity but also fueled her commitment to creating meaningful change in the lives of others.

With clinical experience supporting adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship struggles, and social challenges, Basma offers a grounded and empathetic presence. Her therapeutic approach is client-centered and holistic, integrating traditional psychological methods with alternative healing practices. She believes in going beyond symptom management to cultivate true, long-lasting healing and wellness.

Basma creates a non-judgmental, supportive space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to embrace their authentic selves. Her work is deeply rooted in cultural awareness, trauma-informed care, and the mind-body connection. She is passionate about helping clients develop greater emotional awareness, resilience, and self-trust.
