“Healing means that our memories and disturbances from the past do not define us anymore and we become the observers of those memories so they no longer control our life”

For over a decade, I have been supporting individuals, families and couples. You might be experiencing stressful moments as a new parent, a conflictual relationship with your partner, issues with self-esteem or emotional regulation, feelings of loneliness and unworthiness, or difficulties dealing with traumatic memories. It’s hard to deal with all this in isolation. The good news is that there’s help and I’m here to support you in feeling better.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe everyone has a unique history rooted in their family of origin. Individuals constantly recreate unresolved issues in their family of origin which leads them to get stuck in negative and unhealthy patterns of interactions. I will help you gain insight into those patterns and guide you to make changes.

As an immigrant who left her country and decided to take a risk and start her life in a new place, I understand the complexities of cultural differences in families and communities, and work with my clients to create space to discuss and embrace these differences. In addition, I am bilingual; fluent in Arabic and English. I have provided therapy in both Lebanon and in The United States.

Who I work with:

I work with adult individuals as well as couples. I work in collaboration with you, we discuss your goals and set a plan to achieve them.

Individual Therapy

As an EMDR therapist I work with adults who struggle with traumatic experiences, low self esteem, depression, anxiety and difficulties maintaining healthy relationships. We work together to identify past memories that are continuously causing pain and I help you process them to get them unstuck so they no longer have a detrimental effect on various aspects of your life.

I also work with moms that struggle with perinatal mood disorder including depression and anxiety that occur during pregnancy and within a year of delivery. I use evidenced based approaches that are rooted in trauma informed care including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing as well as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help moms feel better and feel like themselves again.

Couples Therapy

As a Gottman Trained Therapist, my role is to assist couples in overcoming the roadblocks that have led them to become gridlocked in their relationship. I facilitate a deeper understanding of the patterns and dynamics at play within the relationship, all while fostering an environment that avoids blame. During sessions, we explore effective communication strategies aimed at transitioning from a state of gridlock to productive conversation. My goal is to empower couples to enhance and strengthen their relationship by building a solid foundation rooted in mutual respect and understanding.
