About

I specialize in working with preteens, teens, young adults, adult individuals and couples. Many of the feelings, wishes, and concerns that motivate our thinking and behavior are housed in the furthest corners of the psyche, away from awareness. It is no wonder that changing long-standing patterns, even if we know how beneficial this change can be, presents a challenge. As a therapist, I help explore the origin and function of the rigid internal mechanisms that inhibit personal growth. Together, we will uncover past experiences and hidden motivations, trace their impact on the present, and explore ways to move beyond the limitations. I speak Farsi and have a deep understanding of the Persian culture. I typically work with clients who suffer with trauma, depression, and anxiety. My clients typically work on interpersonal relationships, anger management, and exploring emotions. I have extensive experience working with teens and young adults who are struggling with self-growth. My mission is to provide an empathic, supportive space in which you can speak freely about your experiences, examine issues of identity, and explore relational possibilities. I utilize psychodynamic approach to talk therapy which allows in-depth discussion of thoughts, memories, feelings, dreams, and associations.
