As a psychotherapist, I cultivate a safe & supportive atmosphere in which my clients explore thoughts and feelings about the important areas in their lives that may be broken, or not working as well as one hoped and planned. Adults often address major life changes, symptoms of anxiety and depression, relationship issues, as well as struggles with substance misuse and alcoholism.

The pressure is relentless. So is the feeling that you're facing it alone. Maybe there's an anxiety that never fully switches off, a loneliness that lingers even when you have people around. Or symptoms your doctor can't quite explain. You've tried things. They help, until they don't. Fair warning: I'm not what most people expect. But then again, neither are most of my clients. The bigger surprise, for most of them, is that something finally works. The medication that was supposed to fix it — didn't. Suggesting more journaling felt like an insult. I get it. Being told it's stress when you know it's more than that — I get that too.

Psychotherapy profoundly changes lives, and I believe the relationship or "fit" between the therapist and client is one of the most important factors in a successful psychotherapy. My hope is to create a trusting, compassionate relationship, and a private experience in which you feel understood. I can help you better understand the underlying issues which may be contributing to your struggles. You will begin to feel relieved, feel better about yourself, create better relationships, make clearer decisions, resolve painful past experiences, and feel more in control of your life.

Everyone may experience challenges with mental health depending on life circumstances. I believe people are capable of change when internally motivated and properly supported. Sometimes, however, it may seem that change is near impossible, especially when you are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, recently experienced loss or going through a life transition. Together we will create a roadmap for you to begin making small changes, one step at a time, towards a more fulfilling and rewarding future. Our therapeutic relationship will be built on a foundation of unconditional positive regard and open and honest communication.

I work from a wellness model and believe anyone can benefit from counseling. I work to provide a safe environment where my clients feel supported and heard. Counseling has not, and still isn't always accepted in many communities, so making the decision to come to counseling with the fear of "el que diran" (what will they say) can be difficult. I will do my best to guide you in your journey to understand how therapy can help you. I also have over 9 years of experience working with individuals who have been affected by cancer, and know it can be difficult to find someone to talk to who is knowledgeable on the topic.

I am an art therapist offering psychotherapy grounded in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic thought.
Starting therapy can bring up uncertainty—questions about where to begin, what to say, or whether things can feel different. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, and relationship concerns. As a Lebanese-American therapist, I am attentive to how culture and lived experience shape each person’s story. Through psychotherapy and art therapy, I offer a non-judgmental space to explore your inner world through words, images, or both—no art experience needed—supporting reflection, insight, and emotional growth over time.

Life is a developmental process challenging us to become all that we can. It begins in childhood and moves into old age challenging us by the unexpected. It calls upon us to adapt and rethink our ways of being in the world both inside ourselves and in relationships with others. These challenges come in many forms (disappointments in ourselves and relationships, losses, illnesses (emotional and physical), and the unexpected. Psychotherapy provides a space for joint exploration allowing individuals, couples and families to explore these challenges. It offers an opportunity to gain greater understanding and move toward creating a richer and more meaningful life.

Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
