I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than 10 years of experience seeing clients using an eclectic approach to treatment. I utilize humanistic, cognitive behavioral, solution focused and other approaches to help you achieve what you seek from your therapy.
I specialize in helping clients to truly get to know themselves and the thoughts in their head (whether conscious or subconscious) to break patterns, decrease people-pleasing, increase self-esteem, relieve stress and anxiety, address interpersonal issues, and increase their life satisfaction. Sometimes in life, we might feel stuck in a rut. My role is to help you work yourself out of that rut. I use cognitive behavioral therapy to modify your thoughts and in turn your behavior. I also use interpersonal therapy to increase effectiveness within your relationships. Solution focused therapy helps me, to help you, find the answers or resources that are already within you.
I have a License in Clinical Social Work and have a background working in both child welfare and community mental health. I've worked with countless families, parents, children, and adolescent. I see my client's as part of a system; recognizing that our environment influences our development in childhood and throughout adulthood. I believe that with insight and cognitive reframing, we can take control of our lives.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or carrying more than you should on your own, you’re not alone. You can receive support for depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or life challenges in a safe, trauma-informed space with a focus on helping you feel more in control, grounded, and confident in your daily life. Sessions are offered in both Persian and English, with a deep understanding of immigrant experiences, cultural identity, and individual differences. Care is thoughtful, culturally sensitive, and grounded in respect for who you are and where you come from. I'm a licensed psychologist, well- experienced in mental health related issues. I provide an empathic, collaborative, and evidence-based approach tailored to each client's needs and goals. My work integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, insight-oriented strategies to help clients better understand themselves, improved emotional well-being, and create meaningful change. I work with adults from diverse cultural background and value creating a space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. As a bilingual psychologist, enjoy supporting clients navigating cultural identity, immigration-related stress, life dynamics, and balancing multiple roles and expectations.
I’m a therapist who values honesty, curiosity, and real connection in the therapy process. My style is direct but compassionate. I’ll meet you where you are while also gently challenging the patterns that may be holding you back. I draw from evidence-based approaches and tailor our work to fit your specific needs, rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. Clients often appreciate that our work feels both practical and deeply reflective.
I am a first-generation Latina and a trauma-informed Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 9 years of experience supporting individuals through life's challenges.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, childhood trauma, relationship concerns, attachment issues, and the everyday stressors that can impact emotional well-being.
Support throughout life, especially during life transitions, is critical yet often hard to find. Family and friends may be unavailable or simply not understand. Furthermore, guilt, shame and overwhelm can complicate navigating transitions, whether due to a significant loss, medical diagnosis, new beginnings or a host of other reasons.
I am a licensed mental health therapist who is well versed in providing support to diverse individuals working through life transitions including the immense pain and harsh reality that grief and loss can bring. I am also a trained perinatal mental health therapist with a passion for providing support during preconception, pregnancy, postpartum and beyond.
