I'm a licensed clinical social worker in NY/NJ and a first-generation Muslim Arab woman, born and raised in New York City. My lived experience informs my clinical work in meaningful ways. I understand what it’s like to move between cultures, hold unspoken family expectations, and navigate the tension between individuality and belonging. I bring this awareness into the therapy room with humility, curiosity, and care. My approach is grounded in deep listening and empathy. I offer clients a space where they can be fully seen without having to explain themselves where their inner world is met with respect, and safety.

I am trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Trauma Systems Therapy (TST), Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Therapy (SMART), and Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP)
You might feel stuck in patterns you can’t quite explain – carrying stress, trauma, or self-doubt that shows up in your relationships, work, or body. Maybe you’re doing everything “right” but still feel disconnected, anxious, or unhappy.

Whether you’re an adult healing from trauma or a parent navigating family stress, my goal is to help you begin healing, strengthen your relationship with yourself, and feel confident in your ability to handle what comes next.

Behavioral Issues Therapists
What happens in therapy for behavioral issues?
No matter the type of therapy, individuals form an alliance with the therapist; that connection is often therapeutic in itself, plus it becomes an instrument of change. Individuals learn to identify situations that are especially troublesome for them and acquire new patterns of thinking and behaving. In therapy for ADHD, one of the most common behavior issues for children, individuals learn how to improve frustration tolerance, control impulsivity, manage attentional focus, and gain skills of self-organisation.
What therapy types help with behavioral issues?
Many types of therapy have been found effective, each targeting one or more areas of dysfunction. Perhaps best-known and most widely tested is cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT), in which individuals learn new behavioral strategies and curb reactivity to frustrating or distressing situations that trigger disruptive behaviour. Anger, anxiety, mood disorders, impulse control problems are commonly addressed in CBT. Family therapy or parent management training is often helpful to reduce parent-child conflict and behavioral difficulties at home.
How long does therapy last for behavioral issues?
Among popular approaches to treating behavioral concerns, CBT is considered a short-term therapy intended to be administered in 15 to 20 weekly sessions. Parent training in behavior management, often used when the underlying cause of behavior issues is ADHD in children under 12, usually occurs in weekly sessions for 8 to 16 weeks. When behavioral issues stem from persistent aggression or defiance, therapy may last for months, and usually targets both children and their parents.
How effective is therapy for behavior issues?
Studies show that therapy for behavior issues in children is highly effective and may prevent the development of antisocial behavior later in life. Family intervention—parent management training or family therapy, both of which involve parents and children together—is considered most effective, notably for children under age 12 who persistently engage in aggressive, defiant, rule-breaking or other disruptive behavior. Whether provided alone or in combination with medication, CBT is highly effective in helping people regulate their emotions, and for people with ADHD, it addresses impulsiveness, hyperactivity and attentional focus.
