“Therapy often begins when the ways you have been coping, communicating, or solving problems no longer feel like enough. Individually, you may be dealing with anxiety, low mood, grief, immigration-related stress, or patterns that keep repeating despite your efforts to change them. Couples may feel stuck in recurring conflict, struggle after a sudden event, or find that difficulties have built up over time. Together, we work to understand what is happening, what keeps it going, and what needs to change. I have 11 years of clinical experience, including practice in Iran and Canada. Sessions are available in English or Farsi.”
I start by getting a clear picture of what you are experiencing, how it affects daily life and relationships, and what else may be contributing. When relevant, I suggest a medical check so physical factors are not overlooked. From there, we build a shared understanding of what keeps the difficulty going, and treatment draws mainly on Schema Therapy.
You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to hear what brings you to therapy, answer your questions, and give you a sense of how I work. It is also a chance to see whether you feel comfortable starting with a first session.

Depending on what brings you in, therapy may focus on current difficulties, recurring emotional or relationship patterns, or both. Sessions usually begin weekly, with no fixed number of sessions set in advance. We review together how therapy is going and adjust the focus as needed. Difficulties may ease, some experiences may become easier to live with, or long-standing patterns may change.

Schema Therapy is the main framework in both individual and couples work. With individuals, I draw on ACT, CBT, and relational approaches as relevant. With couples, Schema Therapy guides the work, drawing on Gottman, EFT/EFCT, and CBCT when helpful, while looking at both what happens between partners and the patterns each person brings into the relationship.
