- LMHC
I'm a licensed therapist in Florida dedicated to supporting clients through a wide range of life challenges. I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and trauma with compassion and skill.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in helping you build self-love, improve communication, and discover your life's purpose. I specialize in supporting clients through social anxiety, grief, life transitions, sexual concerns, and identity exploration. I'm experienced in working with trauma survivors, including those healing from sexual assault and abuse, as well as individuals managing mood disorders, financial stress, and caregiver burnout.
I'm particularly attuned to women's experiences and the unique challenges they face. I also work with clients exploring sexuality, alternative relationship dynamics, and the complexities of codependency and infidelity.
My approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I believe in meeting you where you are and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for healing and growth. I'm fluent in English, Arabic, and French, which allows me to serve a diverse range of clients.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to support you on your journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
