Modern therapy for lasting relief.
Aren’t you tired?
Tired of that tightness in your chest.
That knot in your stomach.
That noise in your mind.
Tired of the rollercoaster of anxiety, then burnout.
You've been in survival mode for so long, you’ve forgotten what peace feels like.
And at this point, you’re finally ready to not just "think" differently, but "feel" differently.As a multi-career professional with ADHD, and a proud child of immigrants who left the corporate world for therapy, I get it.
I know firsthand, the heaviness that is caused by stress, identity, and ambition.
And based on my own experiences, I don’t just offer a space to vent, where we talk about the same problems for weeks or years.
I offer a space to help you truly transform.
By blending more modern therapies (IFS, narrative, somatic), I help clients get out of their heads and back into their bodies. We work on healing from the inside out, so that you can finally:
Stabilize your nervous system.
Befriend the conflicting parts of you.
Feel more ease in your relationships.
Our sessions will help you heal from the inside out, so you can finally experience the lasting change you’ve been waiting for.

What are therapy sessions like?
Therapy sessions are often 60 or 90 minutes long, and they focus on things that are urgent (what’s happening right now, such as work stressors) and things that are important (what you want to process long-term, such as childhood trauma). In each session, we will also address any immediate symptoms that are disrupting your daily life (such as sleep issues, rumination, etc.)
What guides me as a therapist?
I am guided by my clinical training, as well as my lived experience. I’ve navigated identity, as a child of Lebanese immigrants; I’ve embraced the complexities of neurodivergence, as someone with ADHD; and I’ve walked away from the corporate world, to become a therapist. And through it all, I’ve learned how to heal burnout, build community, and boost self-compassion.
Even if my story resonates with you, I know that everyone’s story is unique. I’m curious to know: What’s your story? And what do you envision as the next chapter of your life?

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.
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.
Career Coaching
For people who are ready to step into their next phase.
As someone who worked in the tech world for many years, I know what it’s like to feel increasingly disconnected from your corporate job —- even as you appreciate the security and milestones that come with this world.
Through my career coaching, I work specifically with people who have felt a calling towards serving others, particularly in the mental health field. Our work will help you clarify a) what impact your current career has had on your identity, b) what path is right for you, c) what steps you can take to “make some moves”, and d) what you want your future to look like.
With double-certification from the Certified Life Coaching Institute, and the Internal Family Systems Institute, I’, skilled at setting goals, catalyzing curiosity, and keeping clients accountable to the dreams that are calling to them.
