I also provide therapy in English and Farsi for clients balancing cultural expectations or bicultural experiences.
Have you been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure why things don’t feel like they used to? Anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or a major life transition can make it hard to know what direction to take next. Some people come to therapy knowing exactly what they want to work on. Others just know something doesn’t feel right anymore. I work with individuals, couples, families, and children navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

As a psychotherapist, I use a holistic approach that blends clinical research with Eastern wisdom. I have trained extensively for a decade with renowned Psychiatrist, Dr. Jeffery M. Schwartz in his Four Step Method, which combines Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy with the Buddhist principle of Mindfulness. Although, the Four Steps was originally created to treat OCD, my recent collaboration in the advancement of the Four Steps has shown that it is also successful for various circumstances including anxiety, depression, phobias, addiction, and eating disorders. My work is highlighted in Dr. Jeffrey M. Schwartz's new book, "You Are Not Your Brain".

I work with adults and families across diverse backgrounds, and I am fluent in Farsi and Spanish.
Welcome! I’m glad you’re here. As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe healing begins with connection. My path into this work has been shaped by a lifelong curiosity about the ways our minds and bodies hold stories. Before becoming a marriage and family, I have spent many years practicing as an osteopathic manual therapist, yoga therapist, and a fitness coach helping people reconnect with their bodies and discover resilience from within. Those experiences continue to guide me today as I support clients in integrating mind and body in their journey of growth.

Throughout my career, I have observed that the vast majority of people are not actually living their own lives. They mold themselves into someone whom they believe would be acceptable to society. This can ultimately cause issues. I work with my clients to process their emotions and identify what is meaningful to them, so that they can live life more authentically.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or navigating a life transition that has left you searching for greater peace and balance. Perhaps you’re struggling with relationships, self-doubt, or difficult decisions and want a space where you can feel understood, supported, and empowered. You might be carrying emotional weight you haven't had the chance to fully process, or feel disconnected from yourself and others. You may feel emotionally exhausted or unsure of your next steps, yet motivated to create meaningful change with clarity and confidence.

You are facing the stress and fear of an immigration case that feels deeply personal and overwhelming. You might be holding pain that no one else sees. Maybe you've experienced violence or persecution, or you're carrying the weight of separation from loved ones. You deserve to have your story told with dignity, accuracy, and care. Whether you're seeking asylum, a hardship waiver, a VAWA petition, or support with another immigration matter, this process can stir up powerful emotions such as anxiety, trauma, grief, and uncertainty about your future and the safety of your family.

Many of the patterns that feel hardest to change—anxiety, self-doubt, relationship struggles, or feeling stuck—often have roots in childhood. Even when we don’t consciously remember everything, our nervous system does. I work with adults who are ready to heal these early imprints so they can stop repeating old cycles and live with more clarity, self-trust, and emotional ease. My approach is holistic, integrating mind, body, relationships, and early experiences to support real change. Reach out to learn about working to meet your inner child and awaken your highest self.

As a Persian-American, I understand I understand the nuances of navigating multiple cultural identities and life challenges.
Therapy can be a grounding space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you navigate through life's challenges. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating big life transitions, struggling with low self-esteem, healing from a breakup or divorce, or figuring out your cultural identity and relationships, you don’t have to go through it alone. I work with children, teens, and adults who want to feel more emotionally balanced, connected, and understood. I also work with couples, helping partners improve communication, rebuild trust, and deepen their connection using tools from the Gottman Method (Level 1 trained).
