Seeking change requires risk, and risk requires vulnerability. One of my greatest honors as a therapist is being trusted to witness and participate in one’s healing journey. I believe in the importance of developing the therapeutic relationship and creating a space where you are able to be your authentic self. I use person-centered, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness and EMDR modalities to help you achieve your goals. We work together to restructure thinking patterns, explore your story, and reduce recurrent distress.

I have extensive experience working with substance abuse, adolescent anger management, life transitions, gender and sexuality issues and trauma therapy. I enjoy working with adults, adolescents (15+), and within the LGBTQ+ community.

Thank you for advocating for yourself and/or your relationship—it's a brave and vulnerable step. Sometimes life gets in the way of our growth. Sometimes our past casts long shadows into the present. And sometimes, it's the fear of the future that keeps us stuck. My experience includes working with children, individuals, couples, and families. I offer a non-judgmental and supportive space to talk through what’s been on your mind, what’s been worrying you, or what you’d like to change. I’m a person of color, fluent in Arabic and English, and committed to creating a welcoming space for people from all walks of life.

I take a person-centered, experiential approach—meaning our time together is focused on you. I believe each person is unique: I’m interested in your values, early experiences, cultural background, and how all of these influence your relationships and decisions today.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply trying to understand yourself better, I'm here to support you. I’m especially attuned to the unique challenges that can come with navigating multiple cultural identities, inter-generational expectations, or the pressure to appear strong while feeling stuck inside.

I strongly believe in the transformative power of therapy. I work with clients using curiosity and understanding to explore the roadblocks that keep them from becoming who they want to be. I typically work with teenagers and adults, and am open to working with individuals, couples, or families. Many of my clients feel stuck or disconnected from themselves or from the people they care about. Together, we work to understand what’s going on and how to move forward in a way that feels true to you.

I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation, and I’ll always meet you where you’re at. I use a mix of evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, and strengths-based techniques, all tailored to your unique needs and goals. I’m here when you’re ready.

I am an encouraging and supportive therapist who believes that everything happens for a reason and that there is something to be learned from every experience. I believe that together we can find the meaning of your struggle or journey. Through the therapeutic process you will gain a greater appreciation for your whole self and be able to live more authentically.

I counsel individuals, families and couples through an integrative strength based approach. I enjoy working with people while they are navigating the challenges of being one's authentic self, finding balance in modern times, self care and how to live fully and honestly in all areas of life. I am also a Prepare/Enrich Certified Premarital Therapist.

I believe therapy is a space to feel supported, understood, and empowered to grow. I work with individuals and families across the lifespan, from young children to older adults, addressing a range of needs and life transitions. My approach is integrative and tailored to each person, drawing from client-centered, strengths-based, solution-focused, narrative, CBT, and trauma-informed care. Therapy is collaborative, guided by your voice and goals, with a focus on building strengths, navigating challenges, and creating a more meaningful life.

I work as a team with clients exploring current issues and how mind, spirit, and body are interconnected. I believe when people have hope and can learn to challenge and replace irrational thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes, they are free to experience change. I utilize an eclectic, client-centered, holistic approach incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy techniques, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Psycho-education.

I specialize in working with teens and young adults age 12 and older, treating anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive behavior, life changes, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, peer/relationship issues, and depression.

Through my 20 years as a therapist I’ve come to understand the common issues that get in the way of peoples’ growth and success. I can help you identify what is getting in your way, understand what you learned early on that caused you to feel stuck, and heal from those issues to create lasting change. I utilize trauma treatments such as EMDR and other experiential strategies to help you engage in life and relationships with more vibrancy and joy. I am also certified in Terry Real's Relational Life Therapy (RLT) for couples counseling and welcome couples to therapy utilizing this effective approach for sustainable relational change.

I have specialized experience working with the LGBTQ community and provide a safe and affirming environment. I work with people on issues of sex and sexuality in a sex-positive manner. I am trauma-informed and understand the effects of trauma, both big and small, and have strategies to help people heal from those painful life experiences.

No life issue is too small for therapy. If you are looking to create richer and more fulfilling relationships, increase your self confidence, and learn how to be the parent you always needed, I can help you with that. I look forward to meeting with you soon.

My primary speciality is working with PTSD and trauma. I hear from a lot of clients that their previous experiences in therapy have felt like places to be heard but not to actually change. This often leaves them feeling stuck. I really like to provide a new opportunity for clients like this. My goal is to support meaningful changes for clients with these types of concerns. Are you someone who has experienced sexual assault, childhood abuse, domestic violence, or other traumatic event(s)? Are you a veteran, first-responder, or front-line medical worker? If so, I’d be glad to hear from you.

Although my primary specialty is in PTSD and Trauma, often therapy doesn’t stop there for folks. I have had great success in working with Anxiety and Depression, relationship concerns often related to trauma history, as well as folks who have Bipolar and other mood regulation disorders.

I try to emphasize evidence-based practices as much as possible, so if you like therapy that has clear research support, you’re in the right place. I take a person-centered approach, meaning that you and I will collaborate on what works best. I’m here to work with you and whatever unique challenges and circumstances you’re experiencing.

I enjoy building relationships and promoting positive changes in people's lives. I believe that "weaknesses" are often strengths overutilized or used in non-ideal contexts. Working collaboratively with clients, I can help them better utilize their innate strengths to meet their goals and improve their day to day lives. My clients often struggle with depression, anxiety, OCD, gay men's issues, phobias, relationships, sleep problems, self-esteem and confidence. I am especially interested in working with gay identified men and people struggling with phobias or OCD, but love working with all sorts of folks and issues.

I have training and experience in using a variety of therapies and use a blend of different methods. I most often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. I strive to be flexible and adaptive to the individual needs of my clients. I would be honored to work with you.

There’s a lot in life we can’t control, but your power to make change is greater than you think. I offer a welcoming space to discuss life’s big questions or steps toward your goals. If you’re boxed in by work pressures, family conflicts, relationship issues, or harmful habits, let’s build a plan for change. If anger or stress are causing actions that don’t match your values, let’s draft a map for navigating hard moments.

My approach is flexible and nonjudgmental. I integrate tools from dialectical behavior therapy to help clients improve communication and build comfort with tough emotions. I take a strengths-based approach to highlight the skills and resilience you already have, and take an existential view with clients exploring their purpose in the world.
