You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—from yourself, your relationships, or your life’s direction. Maybe you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or a major transition. My clients often seek therapy to find clarity, deeper connections, heal old wounds, improve relationships, and reconnect with a deeper sense of self. Whether you're starting therapy for the first time or returning after a break, this can be a meaningful step toward insight, growth, and feeling more grounded and whole.
I offer individual, couples, family, and group therapy, specializing in relationships, trauma, anxiety, and life transitions. My Relational Psychodynamic approach explores how past experiences shape present struggles. I also provide supervision, and welcome clients from all backgrounds in English and Farsi.
Starting therapy is a meaningful step. I offer short- and long-term therapy and welcome clients from all backgrounds. If my approach resonates with you, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can explore your inner world, build insight, and foster deeper connection—with yourself and with others.

I primarily work from a Psychodynamic and Relational model of therapy. In our first session, we'll explore what brings you to therapy and identify patterns that may be repeating in your life. I'll also gather some background about your history and experiences. Throughout our work together, I'll support you in deepening emotional awareness and building more meaningful, connected relationships.
