I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with over two decades of clinical experience supporting individuals and couples through life’s challenges. I earned my Master of Education in Mental Health Counseling and Marriage & Family Therapy from Cambridge College in 2002, and since then have worked across a wide range of clinical and academic settings. My professional background includes private practice, where I provide individual and couples counseling, as well as crisis work in hospital Emergency Departments. I have also served as an adjunct faculty member at both community colleges and four-year institutions in the Greater Boston area, teaching undergraduate courses in Psychology and Human Services, including Crisis Intervention, Counseling Practice and Policy, Research Methods, and Personality Psychology. I approach therapy with genuine care, curiosity, and respect. I tend to become deeply invested in my clients’ emotional well-being and believe that meaningful change happens within a safe, collaborative, and trusting therapeutic relationship. My style is primarily solution-focused and practical, while still allowing space to explore deeper emotional patterns at a pace that feels right for you. I understand that discussing sensitive topics—such as intimacy, sexuality, identity, or personal struggles—can feel vulnerable. I strive to create a nonjudgmental, affirming environment where clients feel comfortable being open and honest, knowing they will be met with understanding and professionalism. I enjoy working with adults from diverse backgrounds and life experiences, including those navigating men’s health concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, LGBTQ+ identity and sexuality, compulsive behaviors (including pornography use), immigration-related stressors, and the emotional impact of cancer and serious illness. My goal is to support you in feeling empowered, grounded, and better equipped to move forward with clarity and confidence. In addition to English, I am fluent in Arabic (Lebanese dialect), which allows me to provide culturally responsive care to clients who prefer therapy in their native language.

Hi! I am a licensed psychologist, certified Master Addiction Counselor, and author. I have 20-plus years of experience working in private and public agencies, including hospitals, rehabilitation programs, and halfway houses. I have helped many people with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, attachment, codependence, substance abuse and other addictive behaviors, relationship issues, parenting problems, and career challenges. I have also taught counseling courses and provided clinical supervision at a college level. In addition to my Ph.D., in psychology from Boston University, I also have a post-doctorate in Health and Rehabilitation Sciences (Sargent College, Boston University), as well as Certification in Rational Emotive Therapy. I am the author of several textbooks on addiction counseling: Mastering Addictions Counseling, and Addiction Counseling (publication by Crossroads, NY, NY. In addition, I have co-authored a book on Severe Mental Illness and Addictions (Boston University, Integrated Treatment for People with Co-occurring Disorders). My approach is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with empathy and respect. I am non-judgmental and genuine. My primary therapeutic approach is motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Motivational interviewing helps you identify what it is you value and from that starting point, what goals you are motivated to achieve. We work together to create a treatment plan adapted to your individual needs and goals. Cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses on your beliefs or thoughts and the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and behavior. We know that by changing our beliefs, we can change our feelings and behaviors. "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to treat a wide range of issues. It's often the preferred type of psychotherapy because it can quickly help you identify and cope with specific challenges. It generally requires fewer sessions than other types of therapy and is done in a structured way. (Mayoclinic, 2019). My approach includes a treatment plan and, usually, psychoeducation in the form of worksheets. It takes courage to seek a more purposeful and satisfying life and to take the first step toward change. If you are ready to take that first step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

I am a licensed mental health counselor licensed in Massachusetts and have a Masters in Counseling Psychology from Framingham state University. I have worked in a outpatient mental health clinic, home based therapy, a day treatment hospital and several school settings.

The client will feel the unconditional support and empathy from me, the therapist. My clients will explore their feelings and gain insight into the decisions they choose and slowly make changes for greater emotional happiness. I use a combination of several therapies.

The goal of Therapy is to help YOU explore You!!! The end goal for each client is to find peace and emotional stability. The client needs to feel comfortable in his or her own skin. I have a history of working in individual, family and couple therapy. My clients have often exhibited anxiety, depression, trauma as well as dealing with life issues, divorce, death of a loved one, suicidal ideation and relationship issues.
