Modern therapy for lasting relief.
For a long time, you’ve been carrying more than you let on.
That tightness in your chest.
That knot in your stomach.
That noise in your mind.
A part of you keeps pushing—achieving, enduring, showing up for others.
Yet another part of you feels anxious, overwhelmed, and quietly exhausted.You've been carrying so much, for so long, that you're ready for a change. You're ready to exhale, heal your body, and deepen your relationships.
You're ready to leave "survival mode" behind, and see what’s possible.As a licensed therapist with a compassionate approach, I trust you, and I value your lived experience. You never have to apologize for how you feel, or what you say out loud. My approach is deeply body-based, blending modern therapies with nervous system work - because real change isn't just about "thinking" differently, but "feeling" differently, in your mind and body.
Available in San Diego & Online
Who do I work with?
My clients usually fit the following descriptions:
• People who notice signs of stress in their bodies
• High achievers stuck in “survival mode”
• Millennial & Gen Z adults, navigating life transitions
• Professionals who feel empty or burned out
• Caregivers needing more balance and rest
• Partners yearning for deeper connection
• ADHD adults struggling with shame
What are therapy sessions like?
Therapy sessions often focus on a mix of things that are urgent (what’s happening in your life right now, such as work stressors) and important (what you want to process long-term, such as childhood trauma). In each session, we will also address any immediate symptoms that are interfering with your daily life, such as sleep issues, rumination, etc.
What guides me as a therapist?
Since childhood, I’ve been fascinated by how memory, culture, and landscapes shape who we are. I’ve learned how to navigate different identities, as a child of Lebanese immigrants; how to build community through life transitions; how to leave the corporate world for something different; and how to heal burnout, while establishing myself in multiple careers. Everyone’s story is unique, and it’s not my place to tell you how to live - I’m simply here to help you rediscover the wisdom within.

Therapy Intensives
In addition to weekly therapy, I offer therapy intensives—a deeper experience for focused work on specific topics.
Intensives are for people who often feel that single therapy sessions are too short; people who want greater momentum; or people who are drawn to a more retreat-like, immersive therapy experience. Intensives can be especially helpful when working through a more complex theme or topic, if you’re ready to dive in, and experience insight in an accelerated way.
Intensives can focus on topics such as confidence, childhood trauma, identity, relationships, burnout, imposter syndrome, inner critic work, and/or nervous system regulation. I also offer EMDR intensives for deeper trauma work.
While fees are based on my hourly rate, I strive to make intensives accessible. Please reach out even if cost feels like a barrier; while intensives are a bigger upfront investment, they can save money in the long run, by offering a faster path to insight and breakthroughs. Reach out today to discuss!
Workshops/Events
Aside from 1:1 services, I also run workshops & groups!
Not only do these events help with skill-building, but they also foster community, helping to reduce the loneliness and isolation that is so common in adult life.
Each workshop focuses on specific themes (such as core values, imposter syndrome, inner critic work, etc.), while encouraging learning in community with others. Depending on the event & effort involved, workshops are priced independently. While workshops are not covered by insurance, I try to keep my business practices relational by pricing workshops fairly, and collaborating with participants on pricing.
I have extensive experience in workshops, ranging from intimate conversations, to larger group dialogues. Topics can include identity, emotional intelligence, stress management, active listening, & more.
If you’d like me to run a workshop for your event or company, but aren’t sure where to start, please reach out today to brainstorm! I’m always happy to create a custom experience, based on your unique needs.
