Therapy can be a grounding space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you navigate life's challenges. If you've been feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, constantly putting pressure on yourself to be "perfect," struggling to set boundaries, or finding yourself stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, you're not alone. I work with children, teens, and adults who are ready to better understand themselves, build confidence, strengthen relationships, and create lasting emotional change.
I believe therapy should be a collaborative, strengths-based process that helps you reconnect with yourself and create a life that feels authentic, meaningful, and fulfilling. My goal is to empower you to better understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, and move toward the life you want to create.
As a Persian-American, I understand I understand the nuances of navigating multiple cultural identities and life challenges. I welcome clients from all backgrounds, including women of color, college students, bicultural families, veterans, and LGBTQ+ clients. I welcome you to reach out to explore next steps toward growth and healing.
