Hi. I’m Rana and I am here to help you along your life’s journey. I work with children, teens, adults, and couples to help them work through obstacles, such as trauma, anxiety, depression and relationship challenges.  I am a retired, U.S. Army Veteran. I was an Army wife for years before I decided to join the Army. Veterans and their family members hold a special place in my heart. I understand the complexities of military life and use my military and counseling experience to assist and to advocate for my clients. It is my honor and privilege to help people through uncertain and challenging times.

 

I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional who specializes in trauma-focused and grief therapeutic interventions. I tailor various evidenced-based interventions to best fit the individual and specific needs of my clients. I am a certified SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) Facilitator; I use this system for premarital counseling and for assessing and strengthening existing relationships.

 

As a counselor one of my primary goals is to connect with people from various backgrounds and provide them a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental safe space to heal and thrive. This means that I will listen to understand you during your lowest times and provide support and encouragement and then cheer for you during the high moments of your life.
