العربية,
Long before we learn to question our lives and ourselves, we inherit the language that quietly does the questioning for us. Its definitions become our beliefs; our beliefs become our judgments; and our judgments become very real emotions — even when they are based on a mirage. This is why the investigation of language is central to my approach. My aim is to unlock your inner philosopher: the part of you that asks the right questions and questions the wrong answers. Once you become intimately familiar with your mind, you will find your own company quite charming, and may end up becoming your own best friend.
I use a blend of philosophy, existential therapy, psychoanalysis, narrative therapy, and solution-focused therapy, alongside movies, books, memes, and thought experiments, with the ultimate aim of forcing the abstract chaos of the mind into the tangible structure of language.
The only kind of homework I give is a movie that is relevant to a core idea or question we discussed; then you can tell your friends you went to therapy for movie suggestions.

I adore philosophy and find that the investigation of language on its own is enough to change worldviews, beliefs and interpretations.

I work with identity, meaning, shame, anxiety, relationships, self-judgment, inner conflict, avoidance, overthinking, and feeling stuck between who you are and who you think you should become. I explore the beliefs, definitions, "shoulds," and patterns shaping your life — because no concern is beyond philosophy and interpretation.

For practical and pragmatic clients, I draw from Solution-Focused Therapy. For imaginative and artistic clients, I use Narrative Therapy. For contemplative and philosophical clients, I integrate Existential and Psychoanalytic Therapy. But no one fits neatly into one category, so I blend these approaches and tailor my questions to the goals we identify together in our first session.
