Randa's integration of the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy provides couples with evidence-based tools for rebuilding connection, improving communication, and navigating conflict in ways that strengthen rather than damage their relationship.
Her EMDR training allows her to offer specialized trauma treatment that helps clients process difficult memories and experiences, reducing their emotional intensity while building greater stability and empowerment in daily life.
Randa's exceptional attunement to both spoken and unspoken emotions enables her to respond with deep compassion while adapting her approach to meet each client exactly where they are in their healing journey.
"With therapy, couples come away with stronger communication, a clearer understanding of each other, and tools to navigate conflict in healthier ways. EMDR can help reduce the intensity of painful memories, allowing clients to feel more stable, empowered, and grounded in daily life. The goal isn't to eliminate all problems, but to help clients feel more connected and better able to face challenges."

With expertise in couples therapy, trauma recovery, and anxiety management, she creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their deepest challenges while developing the tools needed to navigate life's difficulties with greater resilience. Randa is particularly skilled at working with couples struggling with communication breakdowns and adults with trauma histories, understanding that healing happens when people feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood.
Her therapeutic approach integrates multiple evidence-based modalities, including the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic principles. This comprehensive toolkit allows her to address both relationship dynamics and individual healing needs. For couples, Randa helps partners develop stronger communication skills, gain clearer understanding of each other, and learn to navigate conflict in healthier ways. Her EMDR training enables her to help trauma survivors reduce the intensity of painful memories, supporting them in feeling more stable, empowered, and grounded in daily life.

Her education has equipped her with deep understanding of both individual psychological processes and relationship dynamics, allowing her to work effectively whether supporting individual healing or facilitating couple transformation. Her approach recognizes that the goal isn't to eliminate all problems, but to help clients feel more connected to themselves and others while building capacity to face challenges with greater confidence.
Outside the therapy room, Randa nurtures her own well-being through outdoor activities, particularly hiking adventures that connect her with nature's healing power. She also enjoys playing bocce ball, an activity that reflects her appreciation for connection, friendly competition, and shared joy with others. These personal interests mirror her therapeutic values—the importance of grounding in nature, playful connection, and finding balance through meaningful activities that bring both peace and engagement.
