Areas of Practice

Different reasons can bring someone to speak.

I work with adults, young adults and adolescents in Horsh Tabet, Sin El Fil, and online where professional requirements allow. These areas describe some of the reasons people seek therapy. More than one may feel relevant to your experience.

You do not need to choose a category or know which form of therapy you want before contacting me. We can begin with what concerns you and explore it together.

Self-understanding

Recurring patterns can make sense before they change.

For experiences that repeat despite conscious efforts to change them — in relationships, choices, work, intimacy or the way you relate to yourself.

Psychotherapy can create room to notice how a pattern has been formed, what it protects, what it costs and why it may continue even when you already understand it intellectually.

You might notice a familiar disappointment in different relationships, difficulty making decisions, or a way of criticising yourself that persists even when circumstances change. These can be starting points for exploring what repeats and how it has come to have a place in your life.

Traumatic experiences

What happened matters. So does what came after.

Trauma does not affect everyone in the same way.

Therapy can make room for what happened, how it continues to be lived through relationships, anxiety, memories, avoidance or bodily experience, and the person and life that exist beyond the event.

The starting point can be what feels most present now, including what is difficult to speak about. We can discuss how an experience relates to your sense of safety, your relationships or your everyday life, without reducing your whole story to that event.

Sexuality, gender & identity

A person is more than a category.

Questions of sexuality and gender can involve desire, intimacy, relationships, family, belonging, shame, acceptance and conflict.

My work in this area is informed by years of specialized clinical experience with people of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities, while keeping the person's own experience at the center of the work.

You may want to speak about desire, intimacy, how you understand yourself, or tensions between your experience and the expectations around you. You do not need to have settled on a label or reached a particular conclusion before beginning the conversation.

Relationships & intimacy

What repeats between people can become a place to listen.

Relationships often carry questions of attachment, desire, separation, dependency, conflict, loss and repetition.

The therapeutic work can explore not only what happens between you and others, but the particular meanings these patterns take on within your own history.

In individual therapy, there is room to explore your experience of closeness and distance, the place you find yourself taking in relationships, and what separation or conflict brings up for you. The conversation begins with how you experience these relationships.

Adolescence

A particular moment of becoming.

Adolescence can bring questions about identity, sexuality, relationships, family, anxiety, belonging and the future.

The young person’s own perspective matters, alongside the concerns that may have led a parent or caregiver to seek help. Questions about the first meeting, parental involvement and confidentiality can be discussed before the work begins.

Emotional distress

Sometimes the difficulty has a name. Sometimes it doesn't yet.

Anxiety, depression, grief, overwhelming emotions or a more difficult-to-name sense that something is not right can all become reasons to begin.

The work does not require arriving with a ready diagnosis or a perfectly formulated question.

There may be a recent event, a long-standing difficulty, or no obvious explanation. An initial consultation gives you a place to describe what you have noticed, how it enters your daily life and what you are hoping might be different.
