I am a CDA Licensed Psychologist in Dubai (recognized by KHDA) and Lead Assessment Specialist. I am also a Licensed Marriage & Family Counselor (California). I received my Masters of Education in Psychology from Columbia University in New York. I grew up in Dubai and I am familiar with the unique joys and unique stressors of living in this cosmopolitan city.

I provide individual, family and couples therapy and hold a special interest in attachment theory and family systems. I am passionate about supporting teenagers and adults to overcome emotional and psychological difficulties and I provide support for:

ADHD
Depression
Relationship difficulties
Trauma
Grief & Loss
Self harm prevention

I specialize in the following assessments:

Psychoeducational assessments for children (4+) with learning difficulties or ADHD (WPPSI, WISC, WAIS, WIAT, DASH, TOC, Conners, BASC, DKEFS)
Memory, language, auditory, visual skills screening (CMS, EVT, PPVT, TAPS, TVPS)
Screening for emotional difficulties (BYI, SDQ)
Career assessments (aptitude, interests, emotional intelligence)

I also provide individual or group supervision to mental health practitioners.

“Thrive is a wonderful centre that really helped me out during a difficult phase. You usually hear horror stories about therapists in Dubai so I was pleasantly surprised by my therapist Sonia. She was fantastic, very supportive and patient. Even the overall experience of the centre from the appointment bookings to the physical space was very positive and easy. I 100% recommend Thrive to anyone looking for support.”
