About Me

I guide individuals seeking psychological support towards lasting well-being. Drawing on extensive experience and training in evidence-based methods like CBT, I offer compassionate care. My approach helps you understand patterns and develop practical strategies for daily life. Clients find my dedication to their growth valuable, fostering resilience and positive change.

Approach

Sessions begin by exploring the patterns shaping your reactions and relationships, then move toward practical, manageable steps that fit your daily life. Whether meeting in my Beirut office or online, in Arabic, English or French, the space is structured, collaborative and paced to your needs. I blend focused reflection with skills practice and gentle exploration of relational dynamics to address anxiety, burnout, identity and personality difficulties, with attention to assessment and clear homework when helpful. This approach suits people seeking steady, skills-based growth.
