I work with adults and adolescents and particularly enjoy working with gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender clients.
We all can feel a little overwhelmed and often times we need more than our friends and family to talk to. At times, having someone to provide a non-judgmental safe listening space that promotes self-reflection, psychoeducation, and a growth mindset is incredibly empowering. I specialize in healing relationships with self and others, whether they are painful, confusing, or just plain unsatisfying. I'll help you learn to manage those difficult emotions and confusing situations so that you can move through those life transitions and issues with a greater sense of confidence and ease.

I identify as an Iranian-American/white, bisexual, and cisgender woman and strive to practice through a feminist and anti-oppressive lens.
I imagine you’ve been hard on yourself lately. Thoughts like, “you’re not good enough” or “you should be over this by now,” may play on repeat, unchecked. My approach is focused on self-compassion, the art of reworking internal narratives to respond to yourself in a gentler, more understanding manner. You may not feel ready or deserving to treat yourself more kindly, but I would be honored to hold that warm space for you until you are.

I have over twenty years working with people who identify as either lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transgender/non-binary as well as people from diverse ethnic and racial groups.
My approach to therapy is interactive and relational. I believe that the relationship between the therapist and client is what is most healing and helpful in therapy. I strive to create a comfortable and supportive atmosphere where difficult issues can be addressed. When people feel supported and understood; they are often more able to face challenges. I also help clients become more aware of the obstacles which prevent them from leading more satisfying lives. Sometimes that may involve exploring past experiences and relationships or it may involve learning new coping skills.

Hi! Thanks for considering me as your therapist. Whether you’re struggling with a past trauma or current anxiety, depression, or a major life transition, I’ve been helping people learn to live the best life possible for well over a decade. My interest in mental health began as a young adult after going through countless hours of unsuccessful therapy sessions and deciding there has to be a better way! Unfortunately, people often pick a therapist "out of a hat.” But successful counseling and psychotherapy is largely determined not only by a particular therapist’s expertise, but by the rapport and trust you develop with your therapist.

Are you looking for more than symptom management? Do you want deep, vital, and long-lasting change? Then you’ve found your place. My passion is supporting you to become your most authentic self. Helping you to heal your traumas, fears, and pain which often prevents you from being exactly who you want to be. My favorite sessions are when a client and I get to look back on our time together and we can track just how much they have grown and changed and how much happier they are now. I often joke that I’m trying to work myself out of a job. I want you to have the insight, skills, awareness, and practice to live a fuller life.

I founded the Gay Therapy Center in 2015 because I believe in the healing power of LGBTQ people working with LGBTQ therapists. It's very important in therapy to know for sure that your therapist really "gets" you. At GTC, we’re LGBTQ therapists for LGBTQ people. We've now grown to become the largest private LGBTQ therapy provider in the country with therapists in DC, NYC, SF, LA, and online. We personally match you to the therapist we think will be particularly good for you! You won’t have to deal with waiting lists, sifting through profiles, or matching by algorithms.

Ready for a change? Caught in a cycle of low self worth, lack of connection, and numbing out can make it seem like nothing will change. There are patterns emerging in your relationship with yourself and with others (i.e. people-pleasing, perfectionism, defensiveness, fear of abandonment, codependency, challenges with communication). Something feels like it's missing. The further you sink, the louder your negative self-talk becomes, and the further your goals of happiness seem to slip out of reach. But this old story isn't you. You can break this cycle and build something new, you just need the right support.

I create a therapeutic space for adults who are overcoming challenging pasts to build fulfilling lives. Maybe you were raised in an invalidating environment, had stifled self-expression and creativity, felt pressured to conform to societal expectations, or had limited opportunities. These conditions can lead to immense anxiety, sadness, and loneliness. It’s also normal to struggle with low self-esteem and feeling out of place in the world. And perhaps these remnants from the past hold you back from leading your best life today, whether that’s choosing a childfree lifestyle or coming out as LGBTQ+.

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” - Anais Nin. Liberation and transcendence —getting your power back, finding your spark; these are at the core of my practice. My approach holds a reflective space to process stuck zones, and traces connections to draw insights that inform needs to meet with specific tools and strategies towards creating opportunities. It’s grounded on the existential, the arts, and sociocultural dynamics, while implementing research and assessment to guide unique, individualized treatments to align identity, purpose, and connection.
