Today, I wrapped up an enriching experience with 55 students from University in the Ethics & Deontology course, which I had the honor of delivering alongside Father and Dr. Elie Rahme, under the Psychology Department headed by Dr. Nadine Zalaket . It was a pleasure to share 16 years of clinical practice, emphasizing ethics and professionalism in our field. My gratitude also goes to Dr. Michel Soufia for opening as a space for academic and clinical growth

Today I explored how Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help treat Anxiety Disorders.
As a psychotherapist who has been practicing for the past 16 years, I find this approach truly innovative and promising, and I’m excited to see how it can support my patients.
A big thank you to Mr. Bilal Awan, CEO of Psych Reality, for coming all the way to introduce me to his software.
I believe this technology will become a valuable tool for many therapists, helping enhance therapy and patient outcomes.

Happy to be the first psychologist in Lebanon to bring this pioneering approach to clinical practice! 🇱🇧💫

Five years have passed since the Beirut blast, and the memory still lives within us raw, unresolved, unforgettable. Today, I find myself looking inward, tracing the psychological scars left by that day. Some are visible, most are not. But they’re there in the fear, the sadness, the anger, and the deep sense of injustice that still lingers.

To those who lost someone they loved, to those who were injured, and to everyone who was in Beirut that day,you are not forgotten. Your grief, your survival, your resilience matter.

I remember calling my mother just to say I was alive. I remember the panic as I tried to reach colleagues and dear friends who should have been at their clinics. The chaos. The helplessness. The silence that followed the blast, louder than the explosion itself.

And still today, five years later, I hear the echoes of that trauma in my clinic. In the stories of patients who carry it in their bodies, their dreams, their relationships. Trauma doesn’t keep time, it returns in waves.

To all who remember, to all who are still healing, you are not alone. We carry this memory together 🕯️
