Great to meet you!

There is a kind of exhaustion that comes from carrying pain across languages, cultures, and generations and rarely finding a space where all of it is welcome. I work with adults and seniors navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, and the stress that builds when life keeps asking more than it gives. I offer sessions in both English and Farsi, and many of my clients come from Persian and Middle Eastern communities, though I welcome people from all backgrounds. I also work with women facing major life transitions, individuals processing loss, and people who have been carrying something heavy for a very long time.

My approach to therapy

My own path has shaped how I show up for clients. As an immigrant, I know what it means to rebuild from the ground up, to navigate unfamiliar systems while still holding the weight of everything you left behind. That lived experience is not separate from my work; it is central to it. In our sessions, we focus on understanding what keeps you stuck and building real tools to move forward. We look at the patterns beneath the surface: how anxiety takes root, how trauma quietly shapes your relationships, and how old beliefs about yourself get in the way of the life you are trying to build. Clients leave with a clearer picture of what they are carrying and a path forward that actually feels possible.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a conversation, not an evaluation. I want to understand what brought you here and what you are hoping for, and I want you to get a genuine sense of what it feels like to work with me. If something here resonates, I would be glad to connect.
