I am a father and a husband. I have over 19 years of experience in the mental health field. Entering this field started with my own recovery journey I have worked and trained in private hospitals such as Abu El Azayem,
Dar El Mokattam and am currently working part time in Hodoa Psychiatric Hospital, El Nahar Center for Psychiatry and addiciton as well as Radical Recovery Counseling Center. I believe that underlying all addictions is an underlying trauma which has led me to work extensively with people who have various addictions
( Alchohol, drugs, relationships, sex, porn, and gambling) and an inability to live life according to life's circumstances. It is a form of self-medication to deal with the pain of living and lacking the skills to deal with this pain. Also addictions rarely occur in isolation of other mental health issues.Personality disorders, Social anxiety, and depression often co-occur with addictions. Delusions and paranoid thoughts may also accompany or are induced by substance use. I believe in healing the whole person and not just the specific addiction of concern. After having lived a long time sucked in the life of addiction people ofen find it challenging to live a happy meaningful life without their favorite avoidance mechanism. My passion is to help people who struggle with addiction and / or personality disorders and social anxiety live a life that they can enjoy. I help my clients gaining insight , give them hope,
teach life skills, and support and encourage my clients on their journey. I am trained in addiction counseling, CBT, schema therapy, and co-operate with other therapists and psychiatrists to give my clients the holistic solutions they may need. Along side my experienec in the mental health field I have also have experience working in multinationals. I enjoy snorkling, fishing, and spending time with family and friends.
