“There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.”

I am a seasoned Clinical Psychologist based in Dubai, with over 22 years of experience in the field. I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, substance use and addictive disorders, and I also offer couples therapy.

My journey in psychology began in my teenage years, driven by a deep passion for understanding the human mind. After graduating high school in Beirut, Lebanon, I moved to the United States to pursue my studies. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology in 1999, followed by a Master's in Clinical Psychology from the University of Houston in 2003, and later completed my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Southern California.

Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to de-stigmatizing mental illness across the US, UAE, and Lebanon. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities to support my clients, and I believe that even in the darkest of times, there is always a light to be found. This belief guides my work as I help individuals grow and find meaning in their pain.

What continues to inspire me every day is the strength and resilience of the people I meet. I consider it a privilege to be part of their journeys toward mental wellness and emotional fulfillment. I'm also a proud member of the American Psychological Association.
