I’m so glad you’re here.

Dr. Noor Alwani here, the licensed clinical psychologist behind Gentle Illuminations. My heart’s work is helping couples find their way back to each other — through life’s challenges, through emotional distance, through the sacred, quiet yearning for connection and peace.

Therapy for Couples Who Are Longing for More

From the outside, things might seem “fine.” But inside, the silences feel heavy. Conversations feel tense. You’re navigating the pressure of work, family, parenting, or fertility struggles. Maybe you’re adjusting to life after birth, or wrestling with the invisible expectations of your community. Maybe you come from a Muslim, Arab, or South Asian background where therapy isn’t commonly modeled, and you’re wondering if anyone will truly understand what you carry.

Even if it feels like everything is falling apart, you don’t have to carry it alone.

We can create a space where the air feels lighter, where the weight is shared, and where clarity and calm can slowly return.

This is a space where your story is honored, where the unspoken is gently invited forward, and where your healing as a couple can unfold at its own natural pace.

Whether you’ve been together for decades or are still building your foundation, and whether you’re navigating early parenthood or feeling stretched between cultures and commitments — we’ll begin by slowing down and making space for the parts of your relationship that have been quiet for too long.
