“The act of releasing isn’t just necessary; it is sacred. Psychotherapy guides you through what’s been holding you back, helping you step into your next phase with clarity, confidence, and purpose.”
I am one of Dubai’s most experienced clinical psychologists, with deep expertise in all major mental health conditions and over a decade of experience. Throughout my career, I have developed extensive knowledge in treating and supporting adults, couples, and adolescents — and I may also accept children on a case-by-case basis.
What sets me apart in my field is my dual academic and experiential background. In addition to my bachelor’s in psychology and advanced training at the Master’s and PhD levels in Clinical Psychology, I also hold a Bachelor's in Business Administration and a Master’s in Strategic Management. This unique combination allows me to offer therapy that is not only psychologically informed but also purpose-driven and deeply attuned to the realities and demands of modern professional life. I strongly believe that mental health does not exist in isolation from the systems we live and work in.
As a certified yoga teacher, I also value the role of the body in healing and regulating the nervous system. I integrate mindfulness, breathwork, and somatic awareness where appropriate — especially for clients seeking holistic support in managing stress.
My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from psychodynamic therapy, EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, and body-based practices. Each session combines the strengths of these modalities to meet the unique goals and personalities of the individuals I work with.
