Message from Therapist

I perceive my interaction with clients as a privilege and a gift, an opportunity to plan together a change of whatever my clients desire to work on.  I believe that a person is an adaptive, equal and wholesome being worthy of respect, care and love.

I have counseled individuals, families, and couples with a variety of treatment needs.  I have coached them through problems related to depression, anxiety, grief, anger management, traumatic events, domestic violence, addiction recovery, eating disorders, and also family stress, parenting, and divorce.

Cultural sensitivity is very important to me as a Catholic Therapist of Middle Eastern Chaldean descent who speaks English, Arabic and Aramaic.

Choices you make today affect your future.  Making small changes can add up to a more fulfilling life.  In a safe confidential and supportive environment we work together to maximize your success.

Please call me for further information and to schedule an appointment.
