On the outside, some of us are competent, driven, and dependable in our daily life. But internally, we may struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, or a persistent sense that we're “not enough.” We feel stuck in this way and wish to break free from old narratives, unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, and relational dynamics that no longer serve us. Essentially, we want to reclaim an authentic connection with our self and others.
If this resonates with you, and your goal is to better understand yourself while learning practical, science-backed strategies to make real changes in your life today, I'm here to help you.

Do you feel stuck in your personal life or your relationship? Are your thoughts of constant worry, hopelessness, uncertainty overwhelming your day-to-day journey? Have you decided it's time that you approach these feelings and emotions head-on? Therapy is a brave and powerful first step towards exploring what might be contributing to these feelings. I help address these experiences by utilizing a goal-oriented and solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral approach (CBT). I work with clients to help support them in bringing their strength in the room and allowing them to be able to get in touch with their inner self.

My work is designed to help people find support and understanding that can be felt in the present and will leave a lasting impact.

Taking the step to begin therapy can feel vulnerable, but it’s also a powerful investment in yourself and your well-being. Therapy offers a space to better understand your experiences, work through what may be keeping you stuck, and create meaningful change in your life. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, burnout, or a desire for deeper self-understanding, I strive to provide a space where you feel supported, understood, and genuinely seen.
Together, we’ll explore patterns that no longer serve you while creating space for growth, healing, and lasting change.

Looking for a therapist who understands the unique pressures of tech, law, and other high-achieving professions? Together, we’ll explore the relationship you have with yourself and others, approaching the inner voices and protective patterns that may no longer serve you with curiosity rather than judgment. Instead of pushing parts of yourself away, we’ll seek to understand their origins, intentions, and deeper needs. As insight grows, self-criticism softens, making room for a more compassionate, grounded, and authentic relationship with yourself.

Life is a journey, and like every journey, it has various possibilities, challenges, and gifts. There was a time when you had a clear vision of what you wanted out of life, but lately, you’ve lost your way. It’s especially difficult when moving to a new place and navigating different cultures. If only there were a way to take a step back and gain some perspective. Then maybe you could reorient your path to align with your goals and ambitions. But that feels impossible. You’ve spent so long going through the motions of life that you’ve lost touch with yourself. You know you need to make a change, but you just don’t know how.

Additionally, I am trilingual (English/ Farsi/Hindi).
As a clinician I work mainly from behavioral and psychodynamic perspectives, relying on training in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support clients in healing painful experiences, managing stress, other mental health struggles, and relationship issues. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked as a Marketing and Project Manager in Silicon Valley’s high-tech industry, having that experience has helped me to also have a successful track record in working with professionals facing job stress, addiction issues, and burnout — some of whom want to make big changes in their careers.

Also, through conversation with an objective and trained individual, you will be able to understand the complexities of your mind, making your unknown known. In addition to working with adults, one of my main focuses is individual and family psychotherapy with adolescents dealing with issues such as identity formation and relationship building.

Do you feel stuck—in patterns, relationships, or difficult emotions? Many of my clients come to me feeling weighed down by life transitions, grief, burnout, cultural or communication challenges, or a sense that old coping strategies no longer serve them. Sometimes it shows up as disconnection, exhaustion or simply a lack of vibrancy in life.
In our work together, nothing is “too much.” I offer a compassionate, curious space where we gently unravel what feels heavy or stuck and open up space for new possibilities. My goal is to help you reconnect—with yourself, with others, and with the parts of life that feel meaningful and alive.
