Experience and Specialisms

I am a Specialist Psychiatrist with over ten years of experience across inpatient, outpatient, and emergency settings. I worked as a lecturer of psychiatry at the Okasha Institute of Psychiatry (WHO Collaborating Center), managing diverse and complex psychiatric cases.

Being raised, trained, and clinically active in the Arab region has given me a deep understanding of Arabic cultural values, family dynamics, stigma around mental health, and culturally sensitive communication, which strongly support my work with Arab and multicultural populations in the UAE.

My clinical work covers general adult psychiatry, addiction, eating disorders, sleep medicine, personality disorders, and women’s mental health. I am trained in ECT, crisis management, and handling treatment-resistant cases.

I also have extensive experience in supervising junior psychiatrist trainees and online psychiatric counselling.
