In Person Therapists in Vancouver, BC
We all have an inner voice. Sometimes, that inner voice is self-critical, and brings with it many negative thoughts and feelings. We can feel stuck at a cross-roads, split between multiple paths. Other times, we might feel overwhelmed, burned out, and feel directionless, but with a desire to change something in our lives. At times, we can rely on family & friends for support and guidance, but some problems are so unique and specific - relationships, career guidance, managing our mental health, that it can help to talk about them with a trusted professional.

Are you feeling disconnected from those around you, overwhelmed, stuck in difficult relationship patterns, or weighed down by anxious or heavy feelings? Maybe you’re frustrated by the same struggles showing up in your relationships, or feeling out of place in your family, workplace, or community. You might be dealing with relational stress, insomnia, chronic pain, grieving a loss, or confusion around your identity or sexuality. Perhaps cultural or family expectations have left you drained. With support, you can reconnect with yourself and others, and start feeling more fulfilled and at peace.

In person sessions are only available on Saturdays in a cozy and easily accessible office in downtown Vancouver.
If you're living with anxiety, low self-esteem, disordered eating, addiction, or the daily challenges of ADHD, Autism or disabilities, you might have spent years just surviving, quietly wondering if there's another way to live. You are not broken. No matter what you've been told, or have told yourself, you are worthy of feeling well. I believe every person is born with an inner drive toward a meaningful life. Over time, life has a way of quieting that voice, but therapy can help you feel safe and reconnect with your unique self.

I see clients online or in person in my cozy East Van office.
I work with individuals and couples who want to deepen their resilience and stay engaged in their relationships even when things are hard. My clients are diverse: parents who are breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma and conflict, LGBTQIA+ folks who are coming out “late” in life, couples who want to heal their relationship and deepen their intimacy, people (especially men) who struggle with managing their anger, and people navigating separation and divorce. I know what this stuff like - I've lived through it and I've supported clients through it - so I know how hard it is to find a counsellor who really gets it.

I offer warm, structured therapy in Farsi or English (online or in-person).
My ideal clients are adults 25 to 60, often immigrants, living with trauma/PTSD, panic, hypervigilance, intrusive memories, nightmares, emotional shutdown/numbness, shame, or relationship strain. They need a safe, culturally responsive space, practical tools to feel stable, and deeper work to understand repeating patterns and triggers. Their goal is to feel grounded, sleep better, stop living in survival mode, reconnect with themselves and others, and build a calmer, more confident life.

I offer in-person sessions at Oak and W Broadway, weekdays during business hours.
I offer individual counselling for women who feel stuck, lost, unfulfilled, and overwhelmed. This could involve difficulties with decision-making, desire, purpose, joy, motivation, and managing time and energy, to name a few.
Often, what is required for change is simple, but not easy. However, I believe that we can always find a step that is small enough that it feels do-able.

I offer in person or virtual counselling.
I have 20 years of experience helping clients find relief from the following struggles: depression, anxiety, anger, grief and loss, worthlessness, despair, disordered eating, life/work transitions, addiction (substances, pornography and gambling), and the negative impacts of sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, and poverty. Often in the beginning, people come in feeling overwhelmed and frustrated and may be clearer initially of what they no longer want in their life. I believe these feelings point to what people do want in their life and what's important to them - their values and hopes - and I know change is possible.
