I believe that every individual has great potential and deserves to live a fulfilling life; I also recognize that difficulties and obstacles are inevitable. My goal for therapy is to create a safe space for my clients to explore how those difficulties and obstacles may affect them — physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually — and to use the therapeutic space to practice bringing forward their strengths so that they can see themselves beyond their problems. When you come to me, you’re not just my client. You’re a fellow human with hopes, dreams, vulnerabilities, strengths, weaknesses and ultimately potential.
Alaa works with children, adolescents and adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, divorce, trauma, self-esteem, life transitions, family conflict, and parenting challenges. She uses a person-centered model coupled with an eclectic approach to integrate skills from multiple modalities while adapting her interventions to be culturally sensitive.
Alaa is a first-generation Arab American. She received her BA in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee & her Masters from Columbia University. Her training is grounded in the Multicultural Counseling & Therapy Model (MCT). She uses evidence-based interventions to tailor her therapeutic techniques to meet each client’s unique individual needs.
