I am a DHA licensed Clinical Psychologist. I have also my Lebanese license issued by the Lebanese Ministry of Health (MOH). I earned my High Studies Diploma (DEA) in Clinical Psychology from the Lebanese University in 2005. I then completed my Ph.D in Clinical Psychology in 2011 from the Sorbonne Paris Nord University in France. In 2018, I obtained an Art Therapy Diploma from the Sorbonne Paris 7 University in France. I also completed a three years intensive training in Personality Assessment (Rorschach and Thematic Apperception Test) at Saint Joseph University in Beyrouth.
Besides, I have 21 years of experience in lecturing at several universities, supervising around 160 students per year, training on Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and Clinical Psychology as well as training on personality assessments.
My work consists on assessing patient’s behaviour and needs via sensitive listening, and critical observation and providing Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy to them. My expertise covers all types of intrapersonal and interpersonal disorders like anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, panic attacks, phobia…
I am also expert in couple therapy. Analytical couple therapy allows spouses to untie certain pathogenic knots of their bond through analyzing unconscious couple and individual processes and allows them to evolve towards mature relationship.
The therapy I offer runs in a confidential, safe, neutral, non-judgmental atmosphere.
It is based on free association, dream analysis and art therapy.
