Medi-Cal Therapists in La Jolla, CA
My approach to therapy is grounded in warmth and collaboration. I believe that building a genuine therapeutic relationship begins with the therapist showing up authentically and creating a space where clients feel safe, understood, and comfortable being themselves. I work closely with each client to understand their unique needs and tailor treatment accordingly. Growing up in the Iranian community gave me firsthand insight into the cultural stigma that can make seeking support feel difficult. This perspective has shaped my commitment to providing culturally sensitive care.

Do you ever imagine what it would feel like to truly trust yourself and the people around you? Somewhere along the way, you learned to cope: overextending yourself for others until nothing was left, or keeping people at arm's length. Talk therapy alone hasn't shifted these patterns, and you're tired of running on empty. If your early environment was unpredictable, neglectful, or harshly critical, your body may still be stuck in high alert mode. Your thoughts loop, your inner voice is harsh, and you swing between overwhelm and shutdown. Underneath it, you want a life where you can just exist, without hiding or performing.

Let us help guide you through this journey!

Hope is powerful, and it’s something I want you to take with you from therapy.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about the future, cultivating even a small sense of hope can create momentum. In our work together, we’ll focus on building that hope in tangible ways: setting meaningful goals, learning to embrace uncertainty with curiosity, and creating space for healthier relationships, boundaries, and self-respect.

My ideal client is a human being seeking relief from emotional pain, disconnection, or patterns that no longer serve them, often shaped by past wounds, overwhelm, or unprocessed experiences. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, shame, relationship difficulties, or a loss of meaning, but beneath these issues they need safety, understanding, and to be seen without judgment. Their goals are not just symptom reduction, but greater self-trust, emotional freedom, healthier relationships, and a sense of wholeness. What they truly want is to feel at home in themselves and to believe they are not broken.

Most of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning people who find themselves stuck in painful relationship patterns, whether in love, family, or friendships. They may be navigating conflict, disconnection, infidelity, or the aftermath of loss or divorce.
I work with individuals and couples to uncover the deeper dynamics beneath these struggles, especially around intimacy, attachment, and sex or love addiction, so they can break cycles, rebuild trust, and create relationships that feel secure, honest, and alive.

I provide a warm, accepting, and safe environment to explore and learn how to navigate life's challenges. I provide an integrative and holistic approach that focuses on all aspects of one's self (emotional, behavioral, mental, spiritual).
