Everyone has seasons of difficulty, confusion, or moments where forward progress in life and relationships seem to come to a stop.

Everyone goes through periods of struggle in their lives. Maybe it's the stress of a major life change or fear of what the future will hold.

You are not alone; I can help you walk out of the dark valley you find yourself in.

I have experience supporting clients with a range of issues, and have training in many different treatment methods.

If you are having problems with anxiety, depression, coping with illness or injury, or because of conflict in your primary relationship, I would be happy to help. I also work well with people who have had long-term problems, or who have found previous therapy unhelpful or of limited benefit.

Reducing dependence on medications, relieving emotional suffering, or restoring love and communication are among the goals we can address.

As an immigrant, accessing resources and services that feel inclusive and culturally sensitive is challenging. My journey in healing as an individual, a mother, and a caring community member has sparked a desire to provide culturally sensitive care to people from all walks of life. Although many clients have experienced marginalization due to their background as an immigrant (BIPOC, MENA, AMEMSA), other clients have realized numerous privileges in their life and felt a sense of inclusion and reconciliation within the larger community.
