Farsi Therapists in Anacortes, WA

Counseling can offer an understanding of the behaviors, beliefs and emotions that fuel our daily interactions with families and other people. Therapy is a process. My job is to facilitate you through possible change options. It is my goal to work with you closely during therapy to aid in clarifying your goals for treatment, explore patterns and choices of communication, relationships, life style and foster development of beneficial coping strategies with commitment on both parts during therapy. The main goal is to explore patterns of behavior, thoughts, and actions to foster positive change and personal growth.

I have had the privilege of providing services to individuals, couples, and families facing a wide range of challenges including depression, loneliness, life transitions, perfectionism, relationship challenges, family conflicts, anxiety, body image, stress, trauma, identity concerns, and LGBTQIA+ issues. It is my role to meet you where you are in your life right now, support you during challenging times, and help you to know yourself better.

As a therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Are you struggling by your current life situation, feeling anxious, depressed, experience difficulties in your relationships? Do you think extra support would help you find your way in the life? Let's walk together through the path of healing. I will help you find your authentic self in the warm, respectful and nonjudgmental environment. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families. My compassion and empathy emanates radiantly and I highly value the journey, which is life, that everyone is subjectively experiencing.

If there is any part of you who wants to feel empowered and in charge of your own life, learn more about yourself, your healthy and unhealthy patterns, your capabilities, and you want to claim and connect to your own power and BE authentic, then let's meet and decide whether we can work together. My commitment as a therapist is to facilitate the process of awareness, acceptance, choice, and letting go with deep respect for the personal pace, process and style of each client. I am a fully licensed Mental Health counselor with the state of Washington with over 20 years experience.

Are you lonely in your relationship? Do you argue about divorce or parenting? Has your marriage and family been impacted by infidelity, betrayal or sexual addiction? You're relationship doesn't have to feel stressful and your family doesn't have to suffer. If you're tired of arguing with no resolution, it's time to get support. I help couples resolve communication problems, strengthen their intimacy, repair trust issues, and address parenting struggles and cultural differences. Together we can create a plan to help you ask for your needs, deepen your connection, enhance your intimacy and feel fully alive in your relationships again.

I work with individuals, couples and families and have a significant amount of experience assisting families who have children with special needs, especially Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). I am also multilingual with multicultural competency.

My interest for this job stems from my spiritual artistic insight and the love of helping human beings. I hope to give my clients a comfort environment by being culturally respectful and providing a non-judgmental atmosphere in which you can examine and clarify the issues that concern you in your life.

The power of personal narratives and story-telling dates back to our origins as human beings. We feel seen and heard when our stories are held with compassion and dignity. How would it feel to be witnessed without being pathologized? Healing is a collaborative process and I want to be a witness to your story, to your history and to your healing. Our inner-world matters as much as the universe outside of us. My aim is to explore these worlds with you and connect the different threads of your stories so you can witness yourself as whole.

Life is hard; no one said it would be easy. Nothing that has value comes easily. It seems the things that can bring us lasting joy are the things we have to work to achieve. We are all unique in history. Where we come from, which family, which culture, impacted who we are and who we will or have become. Yet, all of us are the same in that we need human interaction. We come into this world seeking others, touch, interaction. We are neither meant to be or have to be completely alone. *(I am an approved WA State Supervisor and am currently taking on LMHCA supervisees).
