Override Hero Title

I am an incredibly empathetic therapist who's joy is to provide a safe space to my clients. I utilize a variety of counseling theories in order to provide services. I am engaging and inquisitive and enjoy invoking humor within the sessions when appropriate.

I believe that peace does not come from your surroundings—it comes from within. It is something you can learn to build and strengthen.

My role is to support and guide you through life’s ups and downs, helping you stay grounded along the way. Whether you are managing ongoing challenges such as Bipolar Disorder or OCD, or going through a difficult and overwhelming season, I am here to help you regain a sense of control and joy.

I work with individuals, couples, and families, creating a safe and supportive space where healing and growth can take place.

In a career that first began twenty years ago in the Middle East and journeyed to NYC, I have seen clients from every conceivable background who have sought nurturing guidance to face trauma, anxiety, grief and sadness. Often, whether working with men and women suffering from loss or separation, abuse victims, veterans, refugees, or families of substance abusers, I have witnessed that moment of clarity in a client when they realize there is actually hope for a better, more satisfying life. This, I believe, is the essence of therapy and I strive to smooth the path towards and beyond it.

My aim is to help my clients recover hope and find the hero within. I focus on deepening client/therapist relationship through insight, empathy, mindfulness, humor, care, creativity and humanity. Furthermore, I am determined these be not just words we throw around, but pointers towards a better life filled with dignity.

I love literature and have a Master's degree in Creative Writing. This, I believe, can be another unique window in one's approach to therapy.

It has been a privilege to walk along side others managing more complex psychological issues and trauma or just helping them talk things out. I am currently offering telehealth services to adolescents (ages 11 and up) and adults. I also work with couples, parents, and families.

My doctoral training and experience in the field for over 20 years allow me to work with a wide range of issues. I have worked in different capacities and settings including as an adjunct professor, supervisor of therapy/ testing, and a psychotherapist in hospitals, universities, and a military behavioral health clinic. I have extensive experience treating depression and anxiety, grief/ loss, relationship concerns, trauma, OCD, chronic health issues, infertility, adjustment/ self-esteem problems in children/ adults, substance use issues, and personal growth.

My goal is to blend evidence based treatment including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and meditation with a warm, caring style. I like to take a holistic approach focusing all aspects of psychological, physical, and spiritual health. I offer culturally competent therapy- welcoming anyone regardless of sexual orientation, ethnicity, and religion. Together we can identify innate strengths and build coping skills to foster long-term wellness and resilience.

Hello and Welcome. I'm so glad you are here.

We live in a world with multiple pressures and stressors, often having to navigate the expectations from others and those we put on ourselves. Many of us often feel stuck and overwhelmed by those pressures. You are not alone, and there is help.

We all have parts of ourselves that we want to work on, maybe an anxious part, a self-critical part, a part that can say mean things, or is highly reactive. All of your parts are welcome here in therapy.

I come to you with over 20 years of experience working with populations across the life cycle. I have a deep and empathic understanding of challenges and complexities that impact at all stages of life. I specialize in helping adults struggling with anxiety and depression, and experiencing relational issues and difficulties in parenting. I approach each client with an open mind, compassion, and empathy.

I work with new parents, expectant mothers, and hopeful parents who are navigating the emotional challenges of pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, or the grief of a miscarriage. Many of the clients who come to me are overwhelmed by anxiety or sadness after experiencing challenges during the parenthood journey, or just not feeling like themselves. My goal is to help you heal, find your footing again, and develop effective coping strategies that will serve you long-term.

With over 25 years of experience in this field, I consider it an honor to be a part of a client's journey through difficult times. Everyone struggles at some point in their lives, and it takes tremendous courage to seek help. I bring compassion, empathy, and solution-oriented focus to each session.
