Therapist

Virtual • California


I support adults and teens who are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, or overwhelming life experiences. My training includes EMDR, TF-CBT, CBT, and mindfulness-based approaches, and I focus on helping clients reduce distress, build resilience, and feel more grounded and empowered. As a bilingual English/Farsi therapist and immigrant, I value cultural sensitivity, identity awareness, and creating a non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences safely and authentically.

Therapist

Virtual • California


I believe therapy is a space where you should feel heard, understood, and accepted for who you are. My role is not to tell you what choices to make, but to walk alongside you as you better understand yourself, explore what matters most to you, and find a path that feels right for you.

I value building a genuine connection with my clients and creating a space where you can be open and honest without fear of judgment. Together, we can work through the things that may be weighing on you and develop tools that help you feel more confident in navigating life, relationships, and the challenges that come your way.

I primarily work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties, including challenges with family, friendships, and romantic relationships. I have worked with youth and families since 2016 and have provided therapy since 2022. My experience also includes supporting individuals impacted by domestic violence and working in crisis settings, which has shaped my belief in meeting people with compassion, patience, and understanding during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

Most importantly, I believe you are the expert on your own life. My hope is to help you feel empowered to make choices that align with your beliefs, values, and the life you want to create.
