Whether you are experiencing symptoms related to anxiety, depression, grief and loss; problems with relationships, parenting, or self-esteem; or a general sense of disconnectedness – whatever it is – I recognize that therapy is self-work, and it's not easy.
My practice focus is the unique experiences of Black women. In addition to traditional talk therapy to glean how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors inform your process, I use mind-body awareness, emotionally focused therapy and provide psychoeducation about the neuroscience of trauma to help you understand, identify, and achieve optimal well-being.

In early 90’s I launched a weekly television program to address issues that Iranian-Americans struggle with- among them, acculturation, depression, anxiety, career choices, parenting, marital discord and the difficulties of being single/dating .
Individuals seek treatment because they are in pain. Facing one's own weaknesses is difficult and opening up even more so-particularly for people whose cultural background and/or family upbringing discourges transparency /self-disclosure. My priority is to create a safe environment where my clients may confront, accept and change aspects of their lives they consider shameful and/or self-destructive. I have been invited as a guest speaker by a number of organizations and regularly offer seminars and work shops on such themes as self-esteem,communication skills, stress management and the challenges of being married/single and dating

I know this was no easy decision. I know you love your child. I know you want what’s best for them. If not, you wouldn't be here searching for the perfect fit for your family.

Some problems I help with are: feeling blue, imposter syndrome, stress, anger, boundaries, parenting, creative blocks, break ups, anxiety and grief.
Talk therapy helps us understand the roots of our problems. It’s also good to develop a caring connection to our bodies. With over 15 years of training in non-dual healing and mindfulness modalities, I guide people to tune into a deeper somatic awareness and presence.
