I believe we all could benefit from experiencing a Mind/Body/Spirit connection to find healing and unlock our full potential, and therapy is a way to get there. My approach is to get to know and understand you, follow your lead and adapt to your personal style and needs. I utilize a wide range of techniques, such as Client-Centered, Emotionally Focused Therapy, CBT, IFS, and some DBT principles with mindfulness, somatic therapy and attachment theory for individuals. I also utilize EFT, the Gottman method, RLT and attachment therapy to work with couples.
I have experience with a variety of mood disorders, different kinds of depressive and anxiety disorders, attachment wounds, trauma, grief and loss, cultural challenges and life transitions, self-esteem, infertility challenges and relationship difficulties. And I am culturally competent with the Hispanic cultures and culturally sensitive to other heritages.
I love working with adolescents 17+, adults and couples, with especial interest in interracial couples and BIPOC individuals. I would be honored to walk alongside with you and look forward to be a witness of your healing journey. Hablo nativo Español al 100% y me encantaria servirte!

At the core of my work is a deep respect for each person’s lived experience and identity. My current person-centered practice is heavily informed by my background in community mental health, case management, and advocacy; I approach therapy through a multicultural and accepting lens, always seeing you as a human first — not a diagnosis or a problem to be fixed.
My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, understood, and supported. Together, we work to identify your strengths, explore challenges, and develop tools that align with your values and goals.
I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and Solution-Focused Therapy. By integrating these approaches, I strive to offer individualized treatment that supports healing, growth, and meaningful change at your own pace.

Life doesn’t always go as planned. Sometimes, the changes we face can feel overwhelming, painful, or isolating. Whether you’re navigating trauma, grief, a major transition, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be a powerful step forward. I work with adults experiencing a wide range of emotional challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting stress, and identity shifts. Many of my clients come to therapy during times of change: after a loss, during pregnancy or postpartum, in early recovery, or while trying to make sense of a new chapter in life.
I take a person-centered, relational approach to therapy. That means we’ll work together at your pace. I’m also a LADC, so I often support clients dealing with overlapping mental health and substance use concerns. I have training in advanced perinatal mental health, and experience working with individuals navigating complex emotional patterns.

Maybe you find yourself feeling overwhelmed at the prospect of adding one more thing to your plate or tired of trying an endless list of self-improvement tasks, only to feel like the quick fix doesn't fit your circumstances. I meet my clients with a warm, strength-focused, and culturally informed perspective to ensure they are receiving care tailored to them. In addition to the skills and tools you already have, we can use my toolbox: brainspotting, solution-focused therapy, brain-body connection, and systemic therapy to put your experience into context and you in charge of your story—no matter how unmanageable it may feel right now
During a session, you can expect us to reflect on your prior successes–what's worked for you? Just as my experience supporting foster children & teaching art shaped my expertise, your skills inform therapy to be specific & effective to you. My style is collaborative and a touch witty—I lean heavy on metaphors & a bit of therapeutic challenging too.
In short, I believe that everyone deserves peace and I’m here to be a support as you find yours. If it sounds like we could be a good fit, please don’t hesitate to reach out to get scheduled. I offer free 15 minute phone consultations and we have a wonderful front desk staff who would be happy to see if your insurance works out here.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, ADHD, burnout, parenting stress, relationship challenges, or major life transitions begin affecting how you function day-to-day. I work with adults navigating emotional overwhelm, self-esteem struggles, caregiving stress, neurodiversity, and the pressures of modern life. I also work well with analytical and high-achieving individuals, including those in engineering and problem-solving professions. I especially enjoy supporting individuals exploring late-diagnosed ADHD, including individuals learning how neurodiversity has shaped their relationships, work, identity, and emotional well-being.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based. I use CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and person-centered approaches to help clients better understand themselves while building practical tools for emotional regulation, stress management, boundaries, communication, and self-compassion.
I also support parents navigating postpartum changes, shifting identities, burnout, and the emotional demands of caregiving. Many of my clients are feeling emotionally exhausted by the pace and uncertainty of modern life and are looking for ways to feel more grounded, connected, and sustainable. Reach out to see if we may be a good fit!

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 deeply value the therapeutic process. My approach is to meet you where you are at and walk with you as you make changes in your personal life journey to restore wellness. My clinical work encompasses an evidence- and strengths-based approach in collaboration with your unique perspective, identities, lived experiences, wisdom, and history. I strive to create a nonjudgmental, safe, supportive and authentic therapeutic environment while supporting you as you create positive changes and move towards personal goals.
I’ve worked in a variety of mental health settings, which include residential treatment, community mental health and college counseling. I am passionate about working with people that identify as LGBTQ+, BIPOC, Transgender and Non-Binary.
I am also earning a doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology and have developed a love for psychological assessment. Similar to therapy, I have a collaborative approach to testing. This means your thoughts and opinions are just as important as my training in testing.

I believe that building a solid relationship is a key component of a positive therapy experience. I use a person-centered approach to create a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for each person to share their unique story with me. I work regularly with the LGBTQAI community and feel strongly about keeping this a safe space for all.
I have a passion for working with college students/young adults, helping you to work through life transitions, and better understand yourself and others. Through my sex therapy certification, I am constantly working towards destigmatizing sex and the like topics.
People universally want to feel heard, understood, and seen, and I aim to provide this for each person.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to face it alone. I offer a safe, supportive environment where you can share your experiences and begin your journey towards healing. With over 20 years working in the mental health field, I help children, teens, young adults, and adults manage anxiety, depression, and everyday struggles. I provide psychoeducation about how anxiety and depression affect each of us and teach healthy coping skills as a path forward in life.
I am trained in CBT, DBT, and trauma informed practices. My experience comes from work in various mental health settings. This includes providing in home services to children with Autism, years of experience working in day treatment with adolescents/teens, and now years of experience in outpatient therapy settings.
I genuinely value helping clients regain confidence and resume activities impacted by mental health concerns. If you have questions or want to learn more, I invite you to reach out. I’m here to support you every step of the way.
