I bring cultural sensitivity and fluency in Armenian, Arabic, and Turkish to support veterans and individuals from diverse backgrounds. You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to manage the emotional challenges in your life or within your family. Whether you're navigating anxiety, past trauma, parenting stress, or relationship struggles, you’re looking for clarity, emotional stability, and connection. My ideal clients come from all walks of life, united by a desire for change, healing, and a safe place to be heard and understood.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients reshape unhelpful thought patterns and manage emotions more effectively. With children, I incorporate play, art, music, and storytelling to help them express in meaningful ways.
Taking the first step toward support can feel intimidating, but you're not alone. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you or your child can explore challenges at your own pace. If you're ready to move forward with compassion, growth, and support, I’m here to walk alongside you on that path.
