About Me
My Mission
I have experience working with youth, as a psychotherapist, life coach, mentor and speaker, since 2006. Whether as a keynote speaker or a workshop leader, I help young people identify and heal from emotional pain and anger. Then I help them discover their God given ability and passion, and inspire them to become world changers. My calling is to help young women find true fulfillment through Christ and turn that into a life of service...transforming the world. This moves them from a life perspective of blame and anger to one filled with confidence and bold life changes. Although my message applies to all youth, I specialize in speaking to girls ages 13-23.
Faith & Ministry
I gave my life to Jesus at the age of 14. I have seen how God heals inner emotional wounds, traumas and even physical ailments. I have experienced each of these personally. My journey wasn't always clear or easy but Jesus has been through it all with me. I hold a masters degree in psychology and have worked in the field for over 15 years. My education and life experience have clearly pointed me towards working with young people. Let me help your group of young women begin their journey of emotional freedom and true self confidence rooted in Christ Jesus.
My Story / Experience
I was born in Cairo Egypt and moved to Los Angeles at the age of 7.
I grew up with feelings of insecurity and lack of belonging. My home life created lots of anger in me which I didn't know how to handle. By the time I graduated high school I had experienced emotional, verbal and sexual abuse. Many years later I became a psychotherapist and have devoted my career to helping others heal, forgive, restore and accomplish more than they had ever imagined possible for themselves, their families and communities.

Overcoming (free from anger)
Most teens and young people carry a lot of anger inside. Sadly, we don't often notice it because it is well hidden or masked in some other form....especially so in our young girls, because it is socially unacceptable for them to show anger. However, It is vitally critical that young people identify their source of anger and figure out what to do about it. Anger in and of itself is a God given emotion, and can give us clues about ourselves; however, it can also hinder our lives and worst yet, it can destroy us and others.
Finding Purpose (a life fulfilled)
I am passionate about helping teens and young adults identify what THEY are passionate about and how it is directly related to one's purpose. Every human being desires to have purpose and feel fulfilled. It is important to identify these key aspects because they help guide our choices in life.
Becoming (a world transformed)
Once we've decided to heal from our anger and un-forgiveness; and have identified what we are passionate about, we are now ready to share our gifts with those around us. We were created to serve others and help in ways that define us. It's time to BECOME what you were created to be....it's time for each one of us to do our part in transforming the world we live in. Because you've changed yourself, you can now change the world.
