About

What interests me is what’s particular to each person.

Not only what hurts, but how someone came to live, love, repeat, desire and make sense of it all.

In my words

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist, psychotherapist and psychoanalyst. I see adults and adolescents in Horsh Tabet and in Adma, and online.

Much of my work has been with trauma, sexuality and gender, identity and relationships. Alongside my practice, I work with Médecins Sans Frontières as a staff psychologist and teach at Haigazian University. Earlier, I worked with International Medical Corps and Helem.

My orientation is psychoanalytic. I trained in Lacanian psychoanalysis at Being L.C.T.C. and the Forum du Champ Lacanien du Liban. I don’t start from a list of symptoms to remove. I listen for what your symptoms, repetitions and conflicts might mean in your own history, at a pace that is yours.

This work is my passion, and I consider it a privilege. Everyone who comes in carries a story that belongs to no one else, and I meet those stories one at a time, at their own pace.
