Hi, I’m Furwah. I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Johns Hopkins University, with an expected graduation in May 2027. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a concentration in Neuroscience from the University of Georgia. My academic background, combined with a deep interest in human behavior and emotional well-being, shapes my thoughtful, grounded, and compassionate approach to counseling.
I am especially passionate about working with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds who may be navigating identity, family expectations, and the relationship between mental health and cultural values. I understand that culture and lived experiences deeply influence how we make sense of ourselves, our emotions, and our relationships. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported as you explore your experiences.
My therapeutic style is client-centered, culturally responsive, and rooted in curiosity, warmth, and intentionality. I am particularly interested in integrating mindfulness and acceptance-based strategies to support greater self-awareness, emotional balance, and meaningful growth. I believe therapy can be a space for both reflection and empowerment, helping you reconnect with yourself in ways that feel authentic and sustainable.
Outside of my work, I enjoy staying active, exploring new places, and spending meaningful time with friends and family. I value connection, balance, and personal growth, and I bring those same values into the way I show up for the people I support.
