Have you been through a difficult experience? I specialize in emotional and relational disorders arising from trauma, sexual abuse, attachment disruptions, and less-than-optimal early childhood experiences. These types of experiences can create life-long distress and difficulty with relationships. Finding the right therapist is an important first step in healing from trauma. My orientation integrates modern neuroscience with relational psychotherapy. In addition to traditional methods, I utilize expressive approaches such as sandtray, play therapy, psychodrama, movement, and art therapy in my practice. I will tailor your sessions to meet your unique needs and ways of expressing yourself.

At Active Path Mental Health, I am currently practicing a short-term model of therapy combining CBT and goal-centered treatment in a 12-week setting. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon with a Master's degree in Social Work. I'm committed to helping individuals navigate through the challenges that many of us face in our lives. I have 10+ years of human service experience working with a large variety of clients. My work focuses on meeting the person where they are at in their journey and working to create long-lasting and meaningful changes to improve the quality of their daily living.

NOT currently taking on new clients. Accepting new client referrals JUNE 2023. Are you feeling stuck, but don't know where to start? Do you feel as though you're searching for something, but are unsure what it might be? If you have been asking yourself these questions, let me help you on your path to self-discovery. Finding the right therapist can be overwhelming and confusing. My goal is to provide individualized, high-quality mental health care to individuals, couples and families. I believe that everyone has the capacity for change, and that my job as a therapist is to help clients reach the point where these changes begin.

Our significant relationships and life history have shaped our individual beliefs and behaviors. Often times those beliefs and behaviors prove to be limiting and may keep us stuck. At times, we find ourselves anxious or depressed, stressed in our relationships and out of balance. By increasing awareness and healthy living skills, counseling offers an opportunity to change your circumstances and/or your response to them.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist, bilingual in Farsi (Persian), with over 8 years of experience providing treatment to children, adolescents, and adults. I work with wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges an individual faces in life including depression, anxiety, traumatic experiences, grief, relationship and parenting issues, work and academic stress as well as acculturation & immigration issues.

Feeling disconnected from yourself, friends, family? Experiencing a life transition? Wondering if you can improve sexual intimacy or sexual function? Struggling with depression or anxiety? Have questions about your alcohol or drug use? I can help. Life can be difficult and sometimes we need help sorting out the challenges we face. We all need support and encouragement. In my approach to therapy, I encourage you to think about how you are strong, have dealt with past challenges, and support you in developing new skills and strategies. I believe you hold the wisdom and knowledge to manifest a healthier, more fulfilling life.

I work very collaboratively with my clients to find a balance between starting where you are and providing the support you need to move towards the goals you have in mind. I work with a variety of issues including learning to cope with depression, life transitions, improving relationships, and learning to cope with significant losses. I also specialize in treating anxiety/stress and substance abuse/dependence. In my experience, a match between a therapist and client is an important part of moving toward your goals. I find it helpful to talk briefly by phone about the concerns you want to address.

Regretfully, I am currently NOT accepting new clients. After 40 years of practice, I find that while theoretical frameworks are useful, much more significant is the relationship that the client and therapist develop. It is in this relational container that the most important relationship is forged and manifested; that of the client to themself. My style is dynamic, directive, and intuitive.My sense of humor is pretty good too. I have great respect for my clients' intelligence, time and resources and don't want to waste them.

***Accepting Testing/Assessment Patients Only*** My primary goal as a psychologist is to help alleviate psychological pain. I discuss what matters most at this point in their lives, what they are doing that is working, and what is getting in the way. I help people figure out what skills they need to create a better life. I also specialize in psychological testing and have extensive training in assessment of children, adults, and older adults. I conduct evaluations for educational delays, developmental disabilities, neurological/cognitive assessments, diagnostic clarification, and competency to make medical/financial decisions.
