Hi! I’m Laila
I enjoy walking, reading, traveling, knitting and cooking.
You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?
— Rumi
Life is unfair and unexpected at some points. We all need a light to help us pass through life’s storms. Therapy can brighten our way and allow for a healthier mindset. As a therapist, I will be walking next to you in your journey, providing my support and empathy.
In my view, the soul deserves caring as much as the physical body. In my seventeen years of experience in the mental health field, I have supported many individuals with diverse backgrounds. In school, I helped teenagers; in communities, I helped adults; in shelters, I helped women who were being abused. I have seen how Individuals were constrained by their thoughts, families, and social cultures.
I seek to give my clients the tools to liberate themselves from their current limits and to find the version of themselves free from their pasts.
My strengths include healing trauma, depression, anxiety, anger management control, abusive relationship healing, helping build self-esteem and overall behavioral/emotional issues. My approaches are strength-based and mindfulness-based. The therapeutic modalities I often use include CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Emotional Freedom Technique.
In addition to psychotherapy, I provide spiritual care, which is multi-faith oriented and multi-culture empowered. In my spiritual Care, I help clients based on their faith values.
I have a Master of Arts in Psychotherapy and spiritual care and offer therapy in Arabic, Farsi, and English.
