I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in child and adolescent mental health and school neuropsychological assessment. I earned my BA in Psychology and MA in Clinical Psychology from the American University of Beirut and completed a two-year intensive clinical training with an emphasis in child and adolescent psychology at the American University of Beirut Medical Center’s Psychiatry Department. I later fulfilled a post-graduate training in school neuropsychology with the School Neuropsychology Institute in Texas and attained board-certification by the American Board of School Neuropsychology. In my practice, I provide individual psychotherapy for ethnically, culturally, and linguistically diverse children, adolescents, and youth in addition to parent and family counseling. As a therapist, I foster an integrative approach, adopting principles from psychodynamic psychotherapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy. In parallel, I offer cross-battery school neuropsychological assessments through standardized testing for pre-school and school-aged children and adolescents and work closely with schools and families to address the needs of students with academic and personal challenges.
