Adult, Couple and Family Therapy / Thérapie pour Adulte, Couple et Famille ; English, Français, (Arabe/Arabic) اللغة العربية

Healing is a process, much like therapy. The moment you decide to embark on your therapeutic journey, you begin to confront the patterns that have held you back. You take control of your story and seek support from someone who genuinely cares. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey – remember, you no longer have to face it alone.

My approach

I use an integrative approach based on the needs of my clients. This may involve different theories of human psychological development, and emotion and neuroscience research. My interventions promote greater self-resilience, authenticity, wholeness, and healthy interdependence in relationships.

In couple and family therapy, I specialize in emotion-focused therapy (EFT). EFT aims to improve the ability to express one’s emotions and to better understand oneself and others. I believe that learning new ways to interact with each other can create a new dynamic full of respect and love.

In individual therapy, I have a great interest in the treatment of emotional regulation, and how this could improve other behavioral disorders (e.g. eating behaviors, addiction, depression and anxiety). I also have experience helping clients deal with existential issues and establish new meaning in life. I am comfortable working with people of diverse socio-cultural identity groups (e.g, gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity).

La guérison est un processus, tout comme la thérapie. Le moment où vous décidez de vous engager dans votre parcours thérapeutique est celui où vous commencez à confronter les habitudes qui vous retiennent. Vous prenez le contrôle de votre histoire et cherchez le l’accompagnement d’une personne bienveillante envers vous. Merci de m’avoir permis de faire partie de votre trajectoire—Sachez que vous n’avez pas à y faire face seul.

En thérapie, j’utilise une approche intégrative basée sur les besoins de mes clients qui peut impliquer différentes théories du développement psychologique humain et la recherche sur les émotions et la neuroscience. Mes interventions favorisent une plus grande auto-résilience, authenticité, complétude et interdépendance saine dans les relations.

En thérapie de couple et famille, je me spécialise en thérapie centrée sur les émotions (TCE). La TCE vise à améliorer la capacité à exprimer ses émotions et à mieux se comprendre et comprendre les autres. Je crois qu’apprendre de nouvelles façons d’interagir les uns avec les autres peut créer une nouvelle dynamique pleine de respect et d’amour.

En thérapie individuelle, j’ai un grand intérêt pour le traitement de la régulation émotionnelle, et comment cela pourrait améliorer d’autres troubles du comportement (par exemple, les troubles alimentaires, la dépendance, la dépression et l’anxiété). J’ai également de l’expérience pour aider les clients à faire face à des problèmes existentiels et à donner un nouveau sens à la vie. Je suis à l’aise de travailler avec des personnes de divers groupes d’identité socioculturelle (par exemple, sexe, orientation sexuelle, race, origine ethnique).

Feeling like you were meant for more? Anxiety, depression, or trauma preventing a better life? You’re worth the investment in getting the help you need. I use the most scientifically viable, evidence-based methods and techniques to help you live a better life. This isn’t magic – it is work – but together through guided exercises, insight, and exploration of your self and your difficulties we can make progress towards your goals and improve your quality of life. Congratulations on taking this important step towards personal wellbeing!

I have worked as a therapist with numerous individuals to help them overcome depression, anxiety and fears, and difficulties in their relationships. I have particular interest and experience working with individuals impacted by trauma and grief, directly and indirectly, as well as anyone facing existential questions and wanting to find more meaning and purpose in life. I believe people look to resolve current issues, be they inter- or intra-personal, in the hopes of becoming better people and finding happiness in themselves, their relationships, and in living their purpose.

Based on the foundations of object relations theories, I use evidence-based techniques built upon lessons learned in my over ten-year career to offer a safe environment where we can explore the most important things to you. Everyone struggles and everyone suffers, but there is hope, there is happiness, and there is peace available.

After having worked for over ten years in private, semi-private and public institutions, I have spent my time applying the lessons learned in project and people management — coupled with my depth of interest and education on the human condition – to help individuals achieve their life goals as a therapist. I also offer workshops and training related to the incorporation of mindfulness, object relations theories, and psychology principles in the management of employees, work, and life itself.
