CBT Psychotherapist

Verified

“An experienced, competent psychologist working with children adolescents and adults.”

About Me

I work with children, adolescents, and adults, guiding them through life’s complexities. My experience as a Licensed Clinical Psychologist helps me understand diverse challenges across different life stages. In sessions, we explore feelings and develop practical strategies tailored to your unique needs. Clients find a calm, understanding environment to openly share and find a path forward.

Approach

Building on our conversations, I work in a steady, structured way that combines careful assessment with practical strategies to address anxiety, mood shifts, anger and the effects of trauma. In Zouk Mikael and online, sessions proceed at a thoughtful pace in Arabic, English or French, with clear goals we agree on and brief check-ins between meetings when useful. You can expect collaborative problem-solving, skill practice and gentle reflection aimed at real-life change. This approach often suits people looking for clear steps and supportive guidance.
