Therapists in Westlake Village, CA

My therapeutic approach stems from the belief that at some point in our lives, we all could benefit from speaking to a professional to help us navigate through whatever issues are holding us back. For some, the desire to seek support happens early in life and for others it happens later. Whether issues stem from life changes, mental health disorders, or external stressors, I believe now is always the right time to start working towards a greater understanding of yourself and your needs. Through working in collaboration with my clients, I hope to help them heal and become the best version of themselves that they've ever known.

Throughout our lives, we all have experienced feelings of depression, anxiety, and anger. These emotions leave you feeling insecure, shameful, lonely, unworthy and stuck in unhealthy patterns of behavior.

These approaches allow me to work with the client to decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression and other health/behavioral issues.

Couples, individuals, and adolescents seeking symptom alleviation and who are motivated for change are ideal for therapy. One important aspect to therapy is learning how to develop the inner strength to practice healthy skills and better manage symptoms. This is partly achieved through a collaborative approach to therapy that invites the client to understand and choose what is ultimately best for their health and relationships.

My focus is on deepening my patients' understanding of their own behaviors, improving their communication and coping skills, increasing confidence and self-image, and moving toward a healthier and more satisfying level of functioning. I am fluent in both English and Farsi.

As a biracial therapist, I offer a unique perspective to the therapeutic process, integrating diverse cultural understanding and experiences into my practice. My background enriches my ability to connect with clients from various cultural backgrounds, fostering a deeper sense of trust and understanding the therapeutic relationship. I specialize in working with children, young adults, and adults grappling with overwhelming anxiety, profound loss, or complex relationships.

Pain and suffering does not need to be a normal way of life. Have you been numbing the symptoms, but not healing the root pain? By letting go of judgment and finding your authentic self, I can help you feel empowered, in finding your own sense of healing. While cultivating an authentic relationship, we can create a healthier way to approach life. I incorporate an integrative model that is rooted in mindfulness practices and can be tailored to your individual needs. By helping you find awareness around the mind-body connection, you can experience life in a more fulfilling way, free of past traumas.
