About

Parenting is hard and children can be complex. Wouldn’t it be nice if on the day that you finally take your baby home from the hospital you were given a booklet on everything you need to know? How to raise your child, how to help children through worry and anxiety, stress, life transitions, and how to handle small and large traumas that may occur along the way? Unfortunately, many families find themselves at a loss, but I am here to help. 

I specialize in working with children and adolescents that have gone through anything that the child perceives to be big, scary, or confusing. I have worked overseas with refugees and low-income families and pride myself on being a bilingual Arabic speaking therapist. I primarily focus on utilizing play therapy, while integrating trauma treatments such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). By utilizing these modalities, I am able to provide a safe therapeutic environment that fosters confidence, empathy, compassion, and healing.

At the end of the day, as a parent you are the true professional of your child and I have the tips, tricks, and tools that can lead the way to your child and family’s success. So, let’s get to play, shall we?
