I specialize in working with people who are experiencing life transitions, such as starting or ending a relationship, marriage, divorce, parenting, school or career, loss of a loved one, aging, and existential anxiety. Transitions can be stressful because it means you need to make changes in how you are living your life. I work with people who are at a crossroads of important decisions or who are having difficulties navigating and adjusting to a change in life circumstances. Going in a direction you have not gone before can bring up feelings of fear, doubt, and uncertainty.

Welcome to my practice. In the consulting room, my aim is to meet you where you are. I approach our sessions with no personal agenda, and offer a space for your narrative to unfold naturally. However, rest assured, I am not a silent observer; our work is a collaborative process where two minds come together, engaging in meaningful dialogue and exploration. Together, we navigate your experiences, fostering a dynamic and collaborative therapeutic process. Feel free to contact me for an initial conversation. I believe this first contact is the best way to assess whether we are a good match.

To me, as a therapist, it is essential to develop a safe, nonjudgmental, honest, and supportive space for each and every client to unpack, process and move forward. I work with children ages 3-18 years, adults, and families facing various challenges and diagnoses.

I view therapy as a partnership designed to disentangle life’s complexities on the pathway to wholeness. For many clients this involves struggles with issues from their past, making sense of their emotions or dealing with one of life's many transitions. Others are in need of support around grief or working through relationship issues. My training as a former Diversity, Equity and Inclusion professional has taught me to view my clients through a multicultural lens that acknowledges and values all parts of their identity. As partners we will create adaptive coping strategies to bring clients into better alignment and fulfillment.

Each one of us can achieve positive change. I see people who are seeking more for themselves and have realized that the way they have been living no longer feels right or helpful. Whether you need support with life challenges and transitions, working through relationship concerns, managing difficult feelings, or healing from past experiences, our work together focuses on establishing a safe, caring place in which to learn more about yourself and develop greater capacity within and in your relationships and life.

Are you confused why life isn't more fulfilling? Do you feel "I'm not enough"- leading to working harder to reach your high standards for yourself. Your strong, active self-critical voice is your own worst enemy- keeping you stuck in those patterns of demanding too much from you and asking too little from others. You see relying on others as a sign of weakness. You find yourself stuck in a spiral of unwanted thoughts and emotions. We'll get to the root causes so you can more easily show up with your best parts. If you experience dissatisfaction in self and current circumstances, long for something more- a better way, I can help.

Life transitions such as the ending of a relationship, or a job loss, can feel just as intense as the death of a loved one. The loss you feel is profound. You feel sad. You feel anxious. You question why it happened. You aren't sure how to grieve, or even if you should. Phrases like, what if, and should have, become repeating thoughts that keep you up at night. It is natural to grieve any change in your life, even if you made the decision. Grieving is important because it provides closure and enables you to move forward. Grief is the necessary path we walk in order to heal.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and EMDR-trained therapist accepting individuals and families for therapy. I strive to create a space where people feel comfortable expressing themselves honestly and it’s possible to better understand, navigate, and heal from challenging experiences over time. It's important to me to acknowledge the impact of socioeconomic and historical conditions on people’s lives. I am particularly committed to supporting people of color and others from marginalized communities to overcome trauma and hardships, and to experience more joy, love, and fulfillment in their lives.

I blend 25 years of years of experience and training with psychodynamic, somatic (mind/body integration), gestalt and the expressive arts, to work with individuals, couples and families and specialize in relationships, anxiety disorders, addiction, life/career transitions, PTSD and developmental trauma.My training in Somatic Experiencing enables me to address trauma at its bodily source -an inside out approach that cognitive approaches can’t access. My belief in our human drive for wholeness extends to my extensive work with individuals and families impacted by addiction, a fundamental disconnect of mind, body and spirit.

I know what it’s like to be in a perpetual evolution of the self. Engaging with past lives and exploring personal truths takes an incredible amount of work, and oftentimes requires help and support. I believe that everyone has the capacity to overcome the thought processes and behavioral patterns that inhibit us from growing into our most vibrant selves. I work through a trauma-informed lens, and utilize research around minority stress theory and attachment theory, amongst others, to formulate individually-tailored plans of action. Whether you’re a creative or a corporate executive, your needs and your path are specific to you.

With over 25 years of professional experience, I provide assistance to clients dealing with relationship issues, family conflicts, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and career challenges. My aim is to foster an open and safe space where clients can share their thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment.

The objective of the sessions is to explore, clarify, and uncover workable solutions and deeper insights into yourself and others.

Feeling disconnected or at odds with yourself can be debilitating. You may wrestle with self-doubt, hopelessness, or anger. You might engage in disruptive relational patterns or face challenges in your relationships. Or you may endure overwhelming thoughts and emotions you don’t know how to handle. Therapy is a collaborative space to get to know your authentic self, answer your questions, and alleviate your symptoms. We’ll review how your experiences may have impacted your current emotions or habits, explore your identity, and build your confidence and self-worth to make meaningful changes.

I hold the belief that everyone can benefit from therapy. Therapy is not just for those who are severely “mentally ill” or struggling. The therapy room can be a safe space for you to explore and get to know the more vulnerable, intimate, and darker parts of yourself. I work with adult women (mostly in their 20s and early 30s), more specifically women of color (e.g., Arab, South Asian, East Asian, Black, and Latinx). I grew up Muslim and in the Arab world, so I have a deep understanding of the experience of religious minorities and marginalized communities.
