Life can be stressful, but starting therapy doesn’t have to be. I specialize in helping women develop a healthier version of themselves. I work with women with trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, burnout, military & life transitions. One of my specialties involves working with women who are the first in their families to start therapy. Many of the clients I work with have experienced intergenerational trauma, trauma that is passed down from generation to generation. In the process of working with me, you will begin the journey of healing and discovering that making a change is possible.

Deciding it’s time to come to therapy can feel overwhelming and finding the "right fit" can feel like decision overload. I offer warmth, compassion, and non-judgmental kindness from the first consultation call to the moment you decide you are ready for our time together to end. My clients are teens & adults seeking support in cultivating resilience, peace, joy & connection in a busy world. I offer a space to get curious about understanding & addressing anxiety, depression, and trauma. Interrupting cycles of using perfectionism, overwork, disordered eating or substances to hide, numb or cope is not something you need to do alone.

My work as a therapist is informed by my belief in our capacity as human beings to heal. Further, my work is informed by my belief that we all have wounds, issues, and growth needs that, if not addressed and healed, impact our ability to live in an intentionally loving, open, and meaningful way—NOW! By focusing on the inner power we have to choose health and well- being, I gently join you in your life journey as you pursue a deeper understanding of your Self and the challenges you face (abuse, abandonment, losses, grief, depression, anger, anxiety, image issues, guilt, shame, forgiveness needs, etc.).

Feeling like you're living a life that isn't truly yours? Struggling to find your purpose, feeling lonely, stressed, or anxious as a result? I can guide you through these thoughts and emotions to find harmony and fulfillment in your life. My unique journey, transitioning from a 20-year career in dentistry to finding my purpose in counseling, provides me with a distinct perspective. As an Egyptian-American Christian, I intimately understand the challenges of cultural assimilation, offering a diverse and empathetic outlook to my clients.

How we experience life matters. As a therapist, I believe everyone will face challenges, pain, and suffering at some point in life. It is human to feel pain and discouragement but is it also human to feel joy and excitement. In therapy I can’t promise your particular type of suffering will go away completely, but I can help you relate to your struggles and navigate them in a new way. I feel it is important to hold space for both joy and suffering as one strives to create a meaningful life. I aim to be a warm and gentle therapist, who will affirm your experiences, celebrate your successes, and challenge you outside your comfort zone.

I work with children (5+), adolescents (families) and adults. Children often exhibit behaviors such as outbursts, meltdowns or withdrawal that indicate their cry for help. Pre-teens, teens and adults will often exhibit signs of depression and anxiety or even physical symptoms such as stomach aches, headaches, sleep disturbances or other health concerns that are often a sign of their internal struggles. No matter the age I believe all can benefit from mental health services. I believe strongly in the mind-body connection and use this belief to guide the therapeutic process to meet your unique needs.

In a world that seeks to disconnect us from our inner wisdom and authenticity, I think therapy, in its best form, is a reclamation of who we really are. I believe therapy has the opportunity and responsibility to enact revolutionary change in our lives, our relationships, and our communities. To do this, we'll embark on a journey of greater self-awareness, understanding, and compassion. Oftentimes, we carry with us patterns and narratives that formed during our earliest years and in our work together we'll turn these narratives on their head to get at the truth of the person that you want to be and the life you want to live.
