About Rana

Hi, I’m Rana, and I’m honored to walk alongside you on your life’s journey. I provide counseling for children, teens, adults, and couples who are navigating challenges such as trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. My goal is to offer a supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to heal and grow.

As a retired U.S. Army Veteran and former Army spouse, I have a deep understanding of the unique complexities of military life. Veterans and their families hold a special place in my heart, and I draw on both my military and clinical experience to advocate for and support them with compassion and insight.

I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, specializing in trauma-informed and grief-centered therapeutic approaches. I tailor evidence-based interventions to meet the unique needs of each client. I am also a certified SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) Facilitator, using this structured system to help couples build stronger, healthier relationships—whether they’re preparing for marriage or looking to enhance their current bond.

At the heart of my counseling work is a commitment to creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where individuals from all backgrounds feel safe to express themselves and explore their path forward. Whether you’re facing life’s low points or celebrating meaningful breakthroughs, I’m here to listen, support, and cheer you on every step of the way.
