Therapist

Through Mountain View MD LLC, I've built a practice around one idea: that every person holds more resilience than they realize, and therapy should help them find it — not impose someone else's vision of who they should be.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, OCD, bipolar, and the concerns that often go under-addressed for women: maternal mental health, infertility, and the particular emotional weight of navigating life's expectations. As a Black female therapist in the Baltimore area, I bring cultural awareness and genuine care for the full picture of who you are.

I'm an LCSW-C in Maryland, trained at the University of Maryland, and I lead every session with empathy, practical skill-building, and what I call philia love — a deep, genuine care for the wellbeing of the people I serve.

Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision, and my goal is to provide a space where you feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported. For the past 15 years, I’ve worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, disordered eating, substance use, identity and cultural concerns, and moments of feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves.

My approach is integrative and tailored to each person’s unique needs. I draw from psychodynamic, attachment-based, cognitive behavioral (CBT), humanistic, and mindfulness-based approaches, balancing insight-oriented exploration with practical tools that support meaningful, lasting change. I believe our symptoms often serve a purpose, and together we’ll approach them with curiosity and compassion to better understand what they’re communicating rather than simply trying to eliminate them.

Having lived and worked internationally, I bring a culturally responsive perspective to therapy and understand how culture, identity, family, and life experiences shape the way we relate to ourselves and others. Whether you’re working through a specific challenge or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I’ll meet you with warmth, authenticity, and collaboration.

I earned my master’s degree in Counseling and Development from George Mason University in 2011 and have been practicing psychotherapy ever since. I provide therapy in English, Arabic, and French.
