As a bilingual (English/Farsi) psychiatric nurse practitioner, I bring comprehensive mental health care to diverse populations. My clinical experience spans multiple settings—from private homes to hospitals and emergency departments—providing me with unique insight into the intricate relationship between physical and mental wellbeing.

My approach is holistic and patient-centered. I look beyond symptoms to understand your complete story, including personal history, current challenges, and environmental factors. This comprehensive perspective allows me to develop individualized treatment plans that address your specific needs.

My training at prestigious institutions like UCLA Health has equipped me with the clinical expertise to manage complex cases with composure and empathy. My additional background in nutrition enriches my practice, allowing me to incorporate evidence-based dietary approaches that complement traditional psychiatric interventions.

I create a judgment-free therapeutic environment where you can express yourself openly. Our relationship is collaborative—we'll work together to develop strategies that fit your unique circumstances. I provide education about medications and treatment options, empowering you to make informed decisions about your care.

My ultimate goal extends beyond symptom management to helping you build resilience and develop practical tools for sustainable mental wellness. I'm committed to supporting you throughout your recovery journey, celebrating your progress, and adapting our approach as needed.

I believe in treating the whole person, not just symptoms. Your complete story matters—your experiences shape both challenges and strengths. I take time to understand your mental health concerns, physical wellbeing, personal history, and current circumstances to develop treatment plans addressing your unique needs.

Our relationship is collaborative. You bring expertise about your lived experience; I contribute clinical knowledge. Together, we form a partnership focused on your healing where your voice guides our work.

My experience across diverse healthcare settings—from inpatient units to community clinics and home care—provides perspective on different treatment approaches. This allows me to create flexible care plans that may include medication management, lifestyle modifications, skill-building, and therapeutic interventions tailored to your specific circumstances.

I practice evidence-based care while honoring your individual needs and preferences, staying current with advances in psychiatric treatment to offer the most effective options available.

I create a safe, non-judgmental space where your experiences are acknowledged with compassion. I prioritize clear communication, explaining conditions and treatment options in accessible language that empowers informed decision-making.

Being bilingual in English and Farsi allows me to provide culturally sensitive care to diverse communities. My goal is to help you achieve meaningful improvements in daily functioning and quality of life through attentive listening, collaborative problem-solving, and consistent care that evolves with your changing needs.

In our sessions, you'll gain a clear understanding of your medications—how they work, benefits to expect, and managing side effects. I'll explain their mechanisms, effectiveness timeline, and potential interactions. We'll track progress through assessments and your feedback, making evidence-based adjustments to find your optimal therapeutic balance.

Beyond medications, you'll learn practical coping skills that complement your treatment plan. These might include mindfulness techniques, sleep improvement strategies, emotion regulation practices, or communication tools for difficult situations. We'll practice these together and refine them based on your real-world experiences.

Our regular check-ins help find the right balance of medication and other approaches for your unique needs. I create personalized treatment plans combining medical interventions with lifestyle strategies and psychosocial supports to address immediate symptoms and long-term wellness goals.

You'll gain knowledge about your mental health condition, including its biological basis and how life factors influence symptoms. You'll develop tools to manage symptoms and recognize warning signs of potential setbacks. My goal is building your confidence while maintaining our collaborative relationship.

Through our work, you'll develop a comprehensive mental health toolkit tailored to your specific circumstances, enabling progress toward lasting wellness and improved quality of life. True healing emerges from a therapeutic relationship that balances compassionate acceptance with gentle encouragement toward growth.
