Experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD or difficulty controlling your thoughts & emotions? Are relationship challenges interfering with your ability to experience a fulfilling & satisfying life? If you've worked with other therapists in the past, or are considering starting for the first time, I have been where you are and know that solutions can sometimes feel unattainable. You don't want to just pay someone to listen, you want to attain improvements in all facets of your life. You deserve to experience contentment, peace & happiness, and the people closest in your life deserve to have that version of you. Real change is possible!

Relationships take work! Whether its your relationship with yourself, your spouse, your family or your co-workers, it's all about communication. Using a holistic approach, I can help you find your way through the barriers that have created stress or caused other obstacles in your life. I know that one person or a supportive therapeutic experience can have the power to change one's perspective and make a huge positive difference in your life. There is always hope and I believe more than anything that everyone's story matters.

The ideal client is someone who comes to therapy with a willingness to work on his/her issues. I am experienced in child, adolescent, family and individual. It is possible that you've been to therapists and counselors in the past, and you've been disappointed by the lack of concern and care. It is my firm belief that no one deserves to endure the pain of psychological affliction, especially when real help is available. I do everything within my means to ensure my clients' success, and if you happen to be struggling, I want to extend the same help to you.

The stage of life is calling you to share your truth, and I’m here to help you shine a spotlight on what’s really bothering you. My clients often get worried and stressed about balancing their work and love life. Intimacy is a skill they haven’t yet mastered in relationships. They have some awareness that inner work is needed, but often they don’t know how to start their deeper love journey. This is where my guidance comes into play. Imagine yourself on stage- reigniting connection and pleasure, feeling emotionally fulfilled, and upholding deep trust by using holistic practices. Live your love out loud. Call today to make it happen.

Therapy is an art, not a science. Since every person is a unique individual, therapy will vary depending on the persons involved. Hence, there can be no one approach to therapy which works for everyone. To facilitate change, different techniques may be used. However, the forging of a therapeutic alliance is essential for change. Research has shown that a successful outcome in therapy depends on this. In humanistic psychology, emphasis is placed on self-actualization. A propensity to self-actualize is presumed to exist in all persons. Karen Horney made the following analogy to illustrate this phenomenon.

As a Muslim Afghan American therapist, I possess more than 5 years of experience providing support to individuals from a wide range of backgrounds. This includes working with underprivileged communities, minorities, and other vulnerable populations who require a culturally aware therapist. My expertise extends to assisting individuals, couples, and families dealing with various clinical conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, marital conflict, bipolar disorder, OCD, and ADHD. In my practice, I prioritize evidence-based approaches and employ a culturally sensitive lens to truly understand each individual's unique needs.

People who enter therapy are the bravest people in the world. The only difference between you and everyone else is that they are choosing to suffer in silence (or not so much silence), and you have decided that you deserve better. You want more. You may have some obstacles in your way, but with a little help there will be better road up ahead. My job is to walk with you, sometimes offering tools that I have picked up along the way, sometimes just listening, always being present.

I have been licensed for 18 years, and have worked with various populations. I am a client-centered behaviorist; meaning I help people change behaviors by presenting them with coping strategies and communication skills to help deal with life on life's terms. I use my experience, as well as professional life as a special education teacher for the last 22 years, a 48 year marriage, and 35 years of a personal 12-Step Program to guide my theoretical orientation to help change distorted thinking into positive choices. I listen with empathy, and offer suggestions for hope and change. .
