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.

I enjoy doing marital and premarital couples counseling, helping couples learn how to communicate more effectively and be kinder to each other. I also strive to help my clients in making meaning from adversity, feeling better about themselves and being better in relationships. Those who grow more quickly also enjoy learning and are open to honest but caring feedback.

I'd like to believe I have been successful in this profession for so many years because not only am I compassionate and non-judgmental, I value the importance of the relationship between a counselor and a client. Trust, communication, and empathy are so important in this field and it is important that clients feel validated. I appreciate the willingness to even browse the website to look for a counselor, it shows you're contemplating the work, which is the first step. Thank you for taking the time to get this far, and I hope that in some way I can be of service to you in helping you get to wherever it is you want to go.
