Why Therapy?
Therapy isn’t about fixing what’s broken, it’s about returning to wholeness. It’s an invitation to pause, listen, and meet yourself with compassion. Together, we explore the patterns that once protected you but may now be holding you back, and gently uncover what brings you closer to peace, meaning, and Allah.
Therapy can help you find new perspectives, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and build authentic connections with yourself and others. It’s a process of becoming more attuned to your own needs and values, paving the way for a more fulfilling, meaningful and authentic life. It’s a chance to be vulnerable, to confront your fears, and to understand yourself on a level you may have never imagined. It’s not always easy, but it’s worth it.
Not Sure Where to Begin Your Journey?
Let’s begin slowly, at a pace that feels safe for you.
Growth, after all, unfolds with intention and trust.
Step One: A First Connection
As you begin to feel more grounded and aligned, our sessions will gradually move to bi-weekly, and eventually monthly. This stage focuses on integrating what you’ve learned, nurturing your connection with yourself and Allah, and sustaining the changes you’ve made — so your growth continues beyond the therapy room.
Step Two: Exploring the Patterns
If we decide to move forward, we’ll begin with regular weekly sessions. Together, we’ll start uncovering the patterns that may no longer serve you — the thoughts, emotions, and habits that keep you feeling stuck — and gently learn new ways of relating to yourself, others, and Allah. This is where awareness deepens and transformation begins.
Step Three: Deepening and Integration
As you begin to feel more grounded and aligned, our sessions will gradually move to bi-weekly, and eventually monthly. This stage focuses on integrating what you’ve learned, nurturing your connection with yourself and Allah, and sustaining the changes you’ve made — so your growth continues beyond the therapy room.
Where We’ll Meet
If you’re in Beirut and long for the presence of a shared space, I welcome you to my clinic in Hamra, a calm corner where we can sit, reflect, and begin to make sense of what life is asking of you.
Online Sessions
For those further away, our sessions can unfold online through a secure and private video platform. Whether you join from across the city or across the world, our time together remains a sanctuary — a space to pause, realign, and return to yourself and to Allah, wherever you are.
An Integrated Approach
My work draws from a range of therapeutic traditions, weaving together what is most helpful for each person. I have been trained in Gestalt therapy, AEDP, Islamic Integrated Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), couples therapy using the Gottman Method, and CBT. Rather than following one path, I meet you where you are — integrating approaches that honor the whole of who you are: mind, body, heart, and soul.
Beginning the Journey
Starting therapy can feel tender and uncertain, and that’s okay. This work isn’t about rushing; it’s about walking together — gently, with intention. My role is to accompany you as you make sense of your experiences, unlearn what no longer serves you, and reconnect with yourself, with others, and with Allah.
