Treatment Approach and Training

I am honored to provide support and guidance for individuals seeking personal growth and change in their life. My treatment approach is strength based and trauma-informed. I strive for cultural humility, and I prioritize understanding my client’s unique perspective in life. Holding space for exploring the impact of history, lived experience, and environmental, cultural, and social contexts is critical. In partnership with my clients, I build a safe and compassionate space to reflect, gain insight, and practice skills to thrive and move into a more authentic space.

I have specialized training and significant experience in addressing mood and anxiety symptoms related to pregnancy and postpartum, fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, and family adjustments. I’m passionate about supporting individuals and families with these issues.

My skills include leveraging my knowledge of healthcare and community systems to empower clients to advocate for their needs. I’m also available to collaborate with medical providers and others to support wellness for my clients.

Some of the evidenced based interventions that I frequently use, include but are not limited to: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT,) Behavioral Activation (BA), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure therapy, Mindfulness-based interventions, Interpersonal Therapy (IPT,) and Problem Solving treatment (PST).

Ongoing learning is essential to me. I regularly take part in continuing education trainings to expand on my knowledge and broaden my therapeutic community, while following research in my areas of practice.

I encourage clients to let me know how they prefer to work together and welcome feedback throughout our process.

About Me

I graduated from University of Washington in Seattle with a Master’s Degree in Social Work (MSW) and a Graduate Certificate in International Development and Policy Management in 2006. Before starting my therapy practice, I worked as a medical based social worker and therapist in a bilingual (Spanish) roles for over 10 years. Much of my work focused on supporting clients with perinatal and pediatric mental health concerns, providing parenting guidance and resources, and serving adults with complex medical conditions. I continue to work in health care as a Clinical Trainer for perinatal, pediatric, and adult integrated behavioral health programs nationwide. I have firsthand experience with fertility challenges, grief and loss, managing medical conditions and caregiving, and navigating bicultural identity. I draw on these experiences when relevant and appreciate the compassion it brings as I support others’ in their journey.

In my free time, I thrive in nature and being active, and I appreciate music in many forms! I am raising two active children and I care deeply about the local community we build together and how we engage as global citizens. I’m grateful for any opportunity to travel and learn about other cultures, and take pride in connecting with my Lebanese and German heritage.
