About Me
I will walk alongside you and your family to help you understand your child’s needs, reduce stress, and build a healthier, happier home.
As a US-trained pediatric and clinical psychologist in Dubai, I am committed to helping families feel more understood, supported, and empowered.
With specialized training from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the National Institutes of Health and more than 10 years of experience, I bring evidence-based, culturally sensitive care to every session.
At CAYA World, I offer individual and parenting therapy and psychological assessments—including ADHD, autism, and learning evaluations—to give families clarity and direction.
My specialty as a pediatric psychologist is working with families navigating the stressors of a chronic illness.
My approach is collaborative and supportive. I work closely with you to identify your goals, choose the most effective treatment strategies, and monitor progress. My priority is to help your family feel understood, empowered, and equipped with practical tools to thrive.
Whether you’re facing anxiety, parenting stress, behavioral challenges, learning difficulties, or chronic illness, I am here to support your family every step of the way.
Together, we can build a future rooted in connection, confidence, and hope.
