I am a US-trained Mental Health Counsellor, licensed by the Community Development Authority (CDA) in Dubai. I provide individual and couples counselling, supporting adolescents and adults through a range of emotional, relational, and life concerns. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, burnout, ADHD, depression, grief, low self-esteem, loneliness, relationship and family difficulties, and challenges related to major life transitions. I have a particular interest in working with young adults and university-age clients as they navigate identity, relationships, academic and career pressures, independence, and the transition into adulthood. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, person-centred, and tailored to the individual. At the core of my work is the belief that therapy should provide a space in which clients can feel understood without judgement while also being supported in making meaningful changes. I work with clients to better understand patterns in their thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and relationships, while developing practical skills that can help them navigate difficulties both within and outside the therapy room. I also work with couples and have completed Level 2 of Gottman Method Couples Therapy training. My work with couples focuses on helping partners better understand their relationship patterns, strengthen communication, manage conflict more constructively, and develop greater emotional connection. Having grown up in Dubai and later trained and worked in the United States, I bring an understanding of different cultural contexts to my clinical work. I aim to provide therapy that is culturally responsive, collaborative, and sensitive to the different personal, familial, and social contexts that shape each client’s experience.
