I am a Licensed Professional Counselor at Wellness Through Counseling in McLean, VA. I am an IFS Level 1 trained therapist and Certified Addictions-Informed Mental Health Professional (CAIMHP), passionate about helping clients access their inner resources toward healing. I believe clients are experts in their own path. I create a safe, collaborative space where we explore strengths and resilience to support meaningful growth and lasting change.
I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and addictive behaviors, including gaming, alcohol, and cannabis use. I also enjoy working with couples and families building healthier relationships. I integrate CBT, MBCT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
I am passionate about serving the community and increasing access to culturally responsive care. I have experience working with diverse backgrounds and provide therapy in English and Persian. It is my privilege to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
