I have a strong passion for helping a diversity of people who are experiencing major life challenges and mental health issues. I have worked with many clients from different cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds in both individual therapy sessions, as well as couples and marriage therapy. My fluency in English and Persian is an essential asset for success in therapy for native Persian speakers. A background in medicine with an MD degree and over ten years of experience in medical practice complements my Master’s degree in Psychology from Yorkville.

We all want a happy relationship, right? Now is the time to get help.
Are you tired of sleeping on the couch? Fed up with all the arguing? Feeling dismissed and lack of connection? Are you questioning whether you are wanting something from your relationship that isn't realistic? What is it that you do want? To be heard, taken serious, being able to argue without the personal attacks, to resolve issues and move past them, to trust and be trusted. Is this right? You want a relationship that is give and take, that is built on respect, trust and love. You want a partner that hears you, understands you and wants to grow with you.

Couples Counselling

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
