You are creative, intelligent, and inquisitive, but feel like you’ve been left to figure life out on your own. You’ve been shamed for your sensitivity and depth of emotion and treated as the odd one out. Soon, you learned to hide parts of yourself to be accepted, connected, and loved. While on some level, this helped you survive, it also left you feeling exhausted, depressed, and anxious. You struggle to achieve things that seem to come easily to others, and while you’re trying everything in your power to move forward, you don’t know how to trust yourself or your decisions. You wonder what’s wrong with you!?
The problem isn't your sensitive nature. It is that hiding has kept you from living fully. You don't have to face it alone. As a 1st- generation Iranian-American, art therapist, I understand that experience. Together, we will use creativity and expression to reclaim the parts of you that were pushed down, blending talk therapy and creative arts.
Through creativity, art, and expression, we can reconnect with and invite back those tender parts of you that were cast aside. Our safe and nonjudgmental relationship will allow you to experiment with new ways of being and channel the power of your full self, if this sounds like you, call or email me to schedule a free 15-minute call.
