Life has many challenges, but they give us the opportunity to grow in new ways and discover our inner strengths. I use a variety of approaches to help clients work on these challenges, develop new insights and make difficult decisions. I am a focused listener and strive to create a safe and healing environment, but I am also an interactive participant who provides direct feedback. I have a quiet and calming office where clients can relax and connect to their inner world of thoughts and feelings. I provide individual, group, family and couples counseling to adolescents and adults of all backgrounds.
I am a therapist, supervisor, administrator and activist with extensive training in a variety of therapeutic methods and treatment modalities. I've worked in large and small organizations, schools and private practice for over 30 years in NYC, SF and Sac/Davis. I love to run groups as a way of connecting others and working on small scale social change.
As an Arab-American and first-generation college student, I am attuned to the needs of people of color and other marginalized groups. Through EMERGE (www.emergecenter4sel.org), I am working to expand the quality and availability of services for young people and families.
