In our work together, it is my hope to empower you on your journey. We all go through things, and in therapy I can help you confront the difficulties you are trying to manage. I specialize in providing family therapy and individual therapy. I have experience working with clients of all age groups across the lifespan. Some of these issues may be grief, life transitions, discord in personal, professional, and couple/ romantic relationships. We tend to put others before ourselves and neglect our own needs in the process, including seeking therapy. Let me show you how to break these cycles in your therapy journey.

I know personally that therapy may be difficult and uncomfortable, especially in the beginning. When I first sit with someone, I genuinely thank them for showing up, both for themselves, and for the therapeutic relationship we’ll work to develop. I want us to explore how your thoughts and feelings impact your behaviors, how your past experiences have shaped the way you relate to others and how you communicate. I want to celebrate progress with you, and to create a safe space for when you need more support.

I work with adults in their 20's and 30's experiencing anxiety and other challenges in relationships. Do you find yourself returning to familiar but detrimental ways of dealing with certain life challenges? Are you in a good relationship that’s triggering a lot of discomfort and not showing up for your partner in ways that you like? If you have outgrown but still struggle with avoiding, perfectionism, overachieving, trying to maintain control or isolating, If you want to feel less anxious, step out of the caretaker role, and have healthy relationships with yourself and others, I understand and can help you get there.

Life comes with surprises and challenges, and everyone needs some support along the way. One of the bravest things you can do is seek help to improve your mental health and understand yourself better. Together, we’ll enhance your well-being, making attainable and lasting changes in your life. Born in NYC to an Egyptian-American family, I draw from this dualistic heritage. As a lifelong violinist and oudist, music serves as an emotional bridge and healing power for me. I returned to Columbia University for a clinical MSW to translate the universal language of emotion and connect individuals to their deepest feelings.

You dread getting out of bed each morning- you feel like you have nothing left to give. You have fantasized about running away at least once this week. You aren’t proud of how often you drink, get high or vape. It started socially, but has turned into a coping mechanism to get through the week. You’ve neglected your own needs, and have no time left over for non-work related needs. You haven’t seen your friends or family in weeks. You become overwhelmed when you watch the news, or scroll through social media. You can’t tell if you are burnt out, depressed or anxious: or all three. You've gotten to a point where you need some help...

I appreciate the courage and determination one needs to begin psychotherapy and the importance of finding a therapist with whom to establish a genuine connection. With that in mind, I strive to provide an empathic, collaborative, and supportive relationship with my clients. I believe that our psychological development continues throughout life and that the process of psychotherapy provides challenging opportunities with which to identify, understand, and resolve problems. Psychotherapy has the potential to increase understanding of the powerful influences of our past and to provide insight into how and why they have an impact on our present behaviors and beliefs.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a powerful agent of change and that healing begins only in a place that is truly safe for self-exploration. I work with my patients to help them come to know themselves more deeply in order to reduce emotional distress, improve relationships, and gain insight into their current struggles. I use an integrated psychodynamic approach to help my patients feel empowered, more self-aware and more confident in their choices. My style is open, interactive, empathic and treatment is always tailored to the individual's needs.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive experience working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, trauma and relationship difficulties. I have helped clients get through intense periods of sadness, self-doubt and major life transitions. Therapy has been used to explore and understand feelings particularly as they come up in the moment. It also encourages individuals to reflect on their behaviors, look at how their past influences the way they perceive and experience their lives and make choices that are in line with their needs.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
