My Approach to Helping
You’ve probably spent years trying to be who others needed you to be.
The good daughter, the fixer, the one who never made things harder. You might be exhausted from carrying emotional weight in silence, struggling with your relationship to faith, or wondering why you keep repeating patterns that leave you feeling small, anxious, or invisible.
I’m Lujane, and I work with people like you—folks healing from power dynamics, shame, fractured family roles, or culturally complex expectations. I became a therapist not to “fix” people, but because healing became my way of life. Long before I had a license, I was in the work: unlearning perfectionism, facing my own trauma, and learning to live with emotional truth.
Our work together won’t be about perfection—it will be about presence.
In therapy, I show up exactly as I am. I don’t offer tools I wouldn’t use myself. I don’t ask you to mask, perform, or be polished. My clients often tell me it’s the first time they’ve felt fully seen, especially as Muslims, first-gens, queer folks, or recovering people-pleasers. We’ll talk about what it means to live with integrity, to feel without apology, and to build relationships that don’t drain you.
I draw from trauma-informed relational therapy, internal family systems work, shame resilience, and play-based healing, because therapy can be both practical and sacred. If you’re looking for a therapist who honors faith, emotion, and authenticity, not just theory, I’m here.
You deserve a space where you don’t have to impress anyone. Let’s build that together.
