Introduction

I applaud you for considering therapy at this time! One of the most profound investments we can make in ourselves is the willingness to look inward: to understand our emotional world, untangle old patterns, and move toward greater authenticity, connection, and self-compassion. This journey looks different for everyone—whether it’s navigating a life transition, healing from past wounds, or seeking deeper, more fulfilling relationships. I work from a psychodynamic lens, which means I help you explore how your past experiences and relationships shape your present patterns, struggles, and sense of self. Together, we’ll uncover deeper emotional insights so you can move toward more fulfilling relationships—with others and with yourself. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, I offer a supportive and thoughtful space for adults and couples to feel seen, understood, and empowered. I’ve been practicing for over a decade and bring warmth, curiosity, and care to every session. As a bilingual therapist (English & Farsi), I deeply value cultural context and understand how identity, family, and heritage can influence our emotional lives. My goal is to help you feel safe and connected as we work together toward healing and growth.
