Sustenance of the Soul
As a Licensed Professional Counselor trained in EMDR and neurofeedback, I specialize in supporting individuals, families, and adolescents in their journey toward emotional well-being. I am bilingual in English and Arabic, allowing me to connect with a diverse range of clients.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in existential and person-centered principles, where I prioritize deep listening and thoughtful inquiry. I work with clients to explore their thoughts and feelings, fostering self-awareness and personal growth.
With experience in treating eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma, I focus on identifying your unique challenges and developing effective coping strategies to support emotional regulation.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a vital part of the healing process. My goal is to create a collaborative, supportive environment where we can work together toward your recovery and self-discovery.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms.
EMDR is a structured therapy that encourages the patient to focus briefly on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories.

Reflect on your goals: Think about what you hope to achieve in therapy. Are you looking to manage stress, improve relationships, or work through specific challenges? Having a sense of your goals can help guide the conversation.
Be open and honest: Therapy works best when you're honest about your thoughts and feelings. You don't have to have everything figured out—just be open to sharing what’s on your mind.
Write down any questions or concerns: If you’re unsure about the therapy process or have specific questions, write them down ahead of time so you don’t forget to ask during your session.
Think about what you want to talk about: You may want to reflect on your recent experiences, struggles, or thoughts that have been on your mind. This can help you feel more prepared when starting the conversation.
Commit to the process: Therapy can sometimes be challenging, but it’s a journey of growth. Be patient with yourself and stay committed to the process.
Who Needs Counseling?
Counseling can benefit anyone who is feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling to navigate life’s challenges. Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply trying to understand yourself better, therapy provides a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts and emotions. It's not just for those facing mental health crises—it’s for anyone who wants to improve their emotional well-being, gain clarity, and develop healthier coping strategies. If you're ready to invest in your mental health and create positive change, counseling could be the support you need.
