Twelve years of practice. A lifetime of listening.
Audiologist · Speech-Language Pathologist
I grew up in a house where the radio was always on, where my grandmother's voice was the warmest sound I knew, and where, when she lost her words to dementia in her final years, I learned what it means to be silenced, and how the people around you can either heal that, or make it worse.
I became a speech-language pathologist to make it better. Twelve years and hundreds of families later, I still believe the work is mostly about being present (really, fully present) and meeting a child where they are.
Credentials matter. They hold the science. But the practice is the real teacher.
University of Bahrain. Graduated with distinction in pediatric language development.
Specialization in early intervention and family-centered practice models.
International certification in clinical audiology and pediatric diagnostics.
It Takes Two to Talk. Trained in the gold-standard parent coaching program.
Tactile-kinesthetic approach to motor speech disorders in children.
Auditory integration training for children with sound sensitivities.
These are the values I keep coming back to, session after session.
No forcing, no drills. The relationship is the therapy. Trust comes before any technique.
Every strategy I use is backed by current research, and I keep learning, every year.
You are the most important therapist in your child's life. I'm the guide who equips you.
Some children bloom in weeks. Others in seasons. Both are correct. I won't rush your child.
If your child is struggling to speak, please know: it is not a verdict. It is a season. And seasons, with care, turn.
Reach out when you're ready. There is no rush, and there is no judgment, only the next small, kind step forward.
