Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist

With over 20-year experience in psychotherapy, I find great joy in helping clients overcome their emotional difficulties, cope with life setbacks, and achieve optimum mental wellness. At the beginning of my career, I worked with addiction patients, helping them recover more quickly and embrace a healthier lifestyle. Later, however, I discovered a passion for couples/family counseling, helping couples and families gain insight into their relationship, resolve conflicts, and improve communication. I have also worked with KAFA (Enough) Violence and Exploitation Organization (a Lebanon-based feminist non-governmental organization) where I helped women overcome the consequences of domestic violence, improve their mental wellbeing, and live a more safe and peaceful life.

In addition to my work as a Director of an outpatient substance abuse program in Lebanon, I also provide online one-on-one therapy sessions for FSHN clients. By combining different therapeutic approaches, I help clients with a broad range of psychological concerns, including, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, stress, and panic attacks. My main goal is to help clients navigate life challenges, make better decisions, increase self-awareness, and, therefore, improve their personal development and become better versions of themselves.
