Good communicator and listener. Has created a safe enivirinment for honest discussion. I feel safe to share and be vulnerable. She is willing to challenge me to grow or confront feelings or beliefs that I may want to rationalize or ignore. Most importantly she has managed to build trust. This is painful for someone who has felt abandoned; shuffled between therapists. They always leave Rula for new jobs & I start all over. Importantly, I believe Maral is committed & cares about my well-being.

Maral sits well balanced in our couple’s therapy sessions. I feel like she can easily touch on the sensitive subjects without triggering resentment between my partner and I. She’s very professional and also warm and human at the same time. Our sessions never feel clinical or a chore and we’re very happy with our relationship with her.
