Rana is a compassionate and dedicated Occupational Therapist who supports individuals and families through a practical, play-based, and family-centered approach.

 

Rana brings a unique combination of lived and professional experience to her work. As the mother of a young adult son with Autism Spectrum Disorder, she has a firsthand understanding of the challenges families face when navigating therapy, education systems, and developmental concerns.

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder
