Hi there. My name is Musa, and I’m an attorney and Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, licensed to practice law and provide counseling under supervision in California.

My path to this work began in law. I was drawn to complicated problems and to advocating for people. Over time, though, I found myself more interested in the person behind the problem. What happened to them? What relationships shaped them? What were they carrying? What helped them keep going? I wanted to understand people—not just their circumstances—and I realized I wanted to make a life out of doing exactly that.

My experiences as a Palestinian-American have also shaped the way I understand people and the worlds they carry with them. I’ve come to appreciate how deeply our mental health is connected to our families, communities, cultures, histories, and relationships. I’ve seen how grief and resilience, hope and hardship, can exist side by side.

At the core of my work, I believe people aren’t problems to be solved, but stories that crave to be understood.

Maybe you’re here because life has become a little harder to carry lately. Maybe you’re moving through anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, burnout, questions about who you are, or a transition that has left you wondering what comes next. Or maybe you can’t quite put your finger on what’s wrong—you just know that something doesn’t feel right. Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to have it all figured out.

I see therapy as an invitation to slow down. To take a breath. To become curious about your story and the experiences that have shaped you. We can talk about your relationships, your identity, your culture, the expectations you’ve inherited, the things you’ve had to survive, and even the parts of yourself you’ve learned to hide or put aside along the way.

I’m especially drawn to working with people who have felt caught between worlds or between different versions of themselves—including those who grew up in religious environments and are navigating questions of identity, belonging, faith, family, or meaning; Palestinian, Arab, and SWANA communities; immigrants and first-generation adults; LGBTQ+ clients; and attorneys and other professionals navigating burnout, identity, and the pressures of demanding careers.

My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and culturally attuned. Therapy isn’t something I do to you—it’s something we create together. I’m here to listen, ask questions, and walk alongside you as we make sense of what you’re carrying and discover what feels meaningful and possible.
