Farah Khuzouz, MFT-LP

We all interpret reality in different ways. We are constantly creating meaning from our experiences. The stories we tell ourselves — about who we are, what we’ve been through, and what things mean — guide what we pay attention to and influence how we feel, think, and act. Over time, these stories become the lens through which we see the world, influencing our relationships, our decisions, and the way we understand ourselves. In our work together, we will explore your self-narratives to understand how they’ve guided or protected you. We will take into account how culture and family dynamics have shaped your identity, values, and relationships. Together, we’ll reflect on how the past may be impacting your present, challenge unhelpful thoughts and beliefs, and identify practical steps toward meaningful change. From this place of understanding, we can begin healing by creating more compassionate and empowering ways of viewing yourself and your experiences.
