Great to meet you!

I am an EMDR and neurofeedback-trained Licensed Professional Counselor. I have experience working with individuals, families, teens, and adolescents. I am bi-lingual in English and Arabic. My approach to therapy is existential and person-centered oriented. I like to take my time to listen and challenge a client’s thoughts so that we can expand on self-awareness.

My approach to therapy

I have worked with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I like to focus on an individual's challenges and find the appropriate coping skills to help with emotional regulation.

What you can expect from me

I believe the relationship built in therapy is important to the healing process. I aim to help guide you in a collaborative and supportive relationship towards recovery and self-discovery.
