About Us
A Safe Space to BeHeard,Understood, andSupported
At Stino Therapies, we believe that therapy is more than simply addressing a problem. It is an opportunity to better understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, work through challenges, and create meaningful change.
We provide compassionate, personalized therapy designed around each person's unique experiences, needs, and goals.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, family concerns, or a major life transition, you don't have to face it alone.
Our Approach
Therapy That Meets You Where You Are
There is no single path to better mental health. Every person brings a different story, background, and set of experiences into therapy.
Our approach is collaborative and individualized. We work with you to understand what you're experiencing, identify meaningful goals, and choose therapeutic approaches that fit your needs.
Our therapists utilize a range of therapeutic approaches, including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Motivational Interviewing, and other evidence-based approaches.

I am a marriage and family therapist dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and families in healing from trauma and abuse, strengthening relationships, and building healthier emotional lives. My work focuses on helping people recover from narcissistic and sexual abuse, navigate complex family dynamics, and address relational and emotional challenges. I take an empathetic, client-centered, and collaborative approach, meeting clients where they are and honoring their unique experiences.
A major part of my passion is helping relationships thrive while breaking the stigma around mental health. I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where clients feel seen, validated, and empowered to grow.
I hold a master’s degree in counseling, continue advanced clinical training, and speak both English and Arabic. My goal is to help clients move from surviving to living authentically, with hope, boundaries, and renewed self-understanding.
