I hold a Master of Social Work degree from Saint Louis University and am licensed and certified in Illinois. I bring more than 25 years of experience as a School Social Worker, where I have had the opportunity to support children, adolescents, adults, and families through a variety of emotional, behavioral, social, and relationship challenges.
I believe that every person is unique, and therapy should be tailored to you—not the other way around. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Problem-Solving Therapy, Behavioral Management Therapy, Parent Management Training, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and Interpersonal Psychotherapy. Together, we can find the approaches and strategies that best fit your needs, strengths, and goals.
I believe in meeting you where you are, listening without judgment, and helping you recognize the strengths you already have. Whether you’re working through a difficult transition, managing emotions or behaviors, navigating relationships, or simply looking for support and a better understanding of yourself, I’m here to walk alongside you.

I believe that psychotherapy is a special kind of health care. It can help you better understand yourself and others, work with and expand limits in your life, and help you better cope with feelings and challenges.

I am a male and Arab-identifying former teacher, and I seek to build a relationship of safety and trust with each person I work with.
At the heart of my practice is a genuine desire to help people grow. I believe every person has the ability to create a life that feels meaningful, connected, and aligned with their values.
