You may be an adult experiencing emotional distress, anxiety, or the lasting impact of trauma, feeling stuck or overwhelmed by life transitions. You might be questioning meaning, identity, or direction—often during midlife, migration, or relational challenges. You seek a deeper understanding of yourself and the patterns shaping your emotional life. I view those who come to therapy not simply as clients or patients, but as individuals navigating personal suffering in a complex world. My work supports the growth of self-awareness and the exploration of underlying difficulties that may limit one’s sense of agency and potential.
I specialize in trauma therapy, including complex and intergenerational trauma, as well as anxiety and mood-related difficulties. Before settling in Montreal, I practiced in Tehran and Vienna, gaining cross-cultural clinical experience. My work is grounded in psychoanalytic and existential therapy and focuses on insight and emotional understanding.
Seeking therapy can feel daunting, especially when emotional pain has been carried for a long time. You do not need to have everything figured out before beginning. Therapy offers a thoughtful and supportive space to be heard, understood, and explored at your own pace. Reaching out can be the first step toward deeper clarity and grounding.
