A core priority in my work is helping clients reclaim the power of their voice. Therapy is most meaningful as a collaborative process where you are not only heard, but truly attempted to be known. As an Iranian American therapist, I understand the richness and complexity of holding multiple cultural identities. I especially enjoy supporting Highly Sensitive People (HSPs), as well working with teenagers and adults navigating identity formation, relationships, and the often tender process of growing into themselves

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, including 6 years providing therapy. My goal in session is to help you feel comfortable, at ease, and able to be yourself—without judgment.
I believe that when people feel safe and supported, real growth can happen. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges, and I focus on creating a space where you can talk openly, make sense of what you’re going through, and move forward in a way that feels right for you.
You don’t have to have everything figured out before coming in—we can take it one step at a time together.
