You’re not crazy for wanting to make sense of it. You’ve watched the videos, “how do I know if I’m in a relationship with a narcissist?” and you’re feeling isolated, embarrassed, confused. They’re talking about your actual life, but you don’t think you’re strong enough to leave. You’ve rationalized, communicated, begged. Maybe they’ll change, but they’re not the problem. You’re the one that needs to change. They say this, so it must be true, right? I need you to know that you’re not stupid or weak for staying. I was once in an abusive relationship with a narcissist, entangled in the chaos, and I doubted my strength to leave.

I understand that life can be overwhelming at times. I can help you navigate through life’s difficulties. My goal is to provide a safe ,confidential and supportive environment where you can gain self-awareness and take control of your life and make positive changes.

Hi there, I am Pouria. I am honored that your life journey has brought to my profile. We are not defined by our upbringings and life’s inevitable circumstances but by how we react to them. The fact that you consider change and bravely look for the right support shows how you intend to respond to your life events, and it is something to be proud of yourself.

I always approach my clients in with an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, harm reduction framework. What does that mean? It means that I will always ask "what happened to you?" instead of asking "what's wrong with you?". It also means that I will always respect you as the expert in your own life. Finally, it means that I believe that everyone does their very best to survive and thrive each day–even on the days that we can't see any hope. I am here to be with you, even through the darkest of days, and help you find inspiration and hope within yourself.

We have helped individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As relational therapists, we appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being.

We see strengths and we see hope, even when it feels like there is none.
