| العربية, Finding a therapist that meets your needs and makes you feel comfortable makes all the difference in the therapeutic process. It’s one of the most important factors that impact treatment and recovery. Therapy is a journey that should be shared with someone you’re comfortable with and trust. Working with me you will find a sympathetic and genuine therapist. I partner with my clients and gently challenge them in a safe and nonjudgmental environment. I encourage them to explore their thoughts, feelings, and fears in order to understand the obstacles they are experiencing and help them make the changes that are necessary to improve life
I specialized in working with trauma victims (physical, emotional, and sexual abuse), victims of Domestic Violence, and War Victims. In addition, I work extensively with mood disorders, anxiety, self-esteem issues, as well as career advising and more. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families.
I will encourage you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and fears in order to understand the obstacles you are experiencing and help you make the changes that are necessary to improve your life and your overall functioning. I will help you by providing support and utilizing teaching techniques that will improve your coping skills.

There is no single solution to dealing with loss, each of us mourns the death of a loved one differently. While some people attempt to cope with their grief by themselves and do not want or need outside assistance, many others seek and find comfort in sharing the pain, anger, depression and other emotions they feel following a loss. Groups are places to work together to support one another; they are places where everyone gives and takes. We are here for you; you can talk or just listen. Maybe you just need a listening ear, or you need to get the world off your shoulders.
