I've spent fifteen years in community mental health, and most of that time has been with people who were told, in one way or another, that they'd have to wait their turn for care. That shaped how I work. You'll find me direct, practical, and firmly in your corner.

A client comes in to see her therapist and is 10 minutes late. She sits down and apologizes for her tardiness, to which the therapist replies that no apologies are necessary as clients are only late for their first session.

The vignette illustrates something that I see in clients repeatedly who come into my office. Many should have come in at least a year or two ago but for some reason think that the problems they experience are still manageable.

While I admire the will of many of those who still manage life like the proverbial Dutch Boy and the dike, I believe that asking for help is a strength of its own. In therapy, I come from the perspective of someone that had to receive help at various times in my life. I've also had a meandering career path, meaning that I've worked in several fields and industries prior to becoming a therapist and have been able to do ground-level empathizing with people who work in blue and white-collar professions.

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.

Virtual • Bowie, MD


Hi, I’m a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I graduated from Drexel University with my Master's degree in Nursing. I then completed my Post-Graduate Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over twenty years of experience working in healthcare. Psych has always been my passion. My experiences encompass working with clients across the life span, including Child and Adolescents, Adult, and Geriatric patient populations. I’ve provided services to clients presenting with many psychiatric disorders, such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and more. I’m in the belief that mental health wellbeing is a priority. Human beings are resilient. Holistic care is the key to promoting better patient outcomes. Therefore, I believe that with an evidence-based practice treatment plan consisting of psychotherapy and/or a combination of psychotherapy and medication management, one will be able to control their mental health.


I’m a very compassionate, caring, and empathetic person. I strive to provide holistic care and collaborate with my clients to develop a treatment plan that they are comfortable with.

Therapist

I’m a bilingual psychotherapist (English/Español) with extensive experience supporting individuals living with bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety. I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University and am credentialed as a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in the state of Maryland and in Florida. In addition to my private practice, I work full-time as a Psychiatric Therapist at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, where I’ve spent years helping people manage mood disorders and find greater stability.

Living with bipolar disorder can feel like riding an unpredictable roller-coaster. Many of the clients I work with want to better understand their symptoms, spot early warning signs, and create daily routines that steady the mind and body. Others are navigating depression, anxiety, or the toll that mood changes can take on careers, caregiving roles, and relationships. If you’re ready to turn insight into action, sleep better, fuel your body, and nurture healthier connections, I’m here to guide you.
