I am a clinical psychologist dedicated to providing accessible therapy for individuals facing challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, family and identity conflicts, women’s health, and perinatal mental health. With a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, my research has focused on neuroscience and the impact of microaggressions on marginalized communities. As an Iranian-Salvadoran child of immigrants, I bring a deeply multicultural perspective to my work. My practice is further enriched by post-doctoral specializations in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and advanced expertise in fertility and postpartum care.
I welcome individuals of all genders and have a deep commitment to working with marginalized populations, ensuring a safe and inclusive space for your healing. My approach is rooted in evidence-based therapeutic modalities, tailored to your unique goals and challenges. I have extensive training in women's mental health and psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
I firmly believe that every individual possesses the capacity for true positive change. Together, we will build a strong therapeutic alliance, creating a safe, trusting environment where transformation can occur more swiftly and effectively. If you're ready please reach out via email for more information. We are currently accepting new clients.
