Hi, welcome! When meeting a new person in therapy, I like to provide an environment that is open and accepting and approach people with a humanistic, whole person perspective. We all have problems but taking the viewpoint that people are defined by their problems does not appeal to me. For example, seeing someone as a whole, multifaceted person who happens to be in a situation of homelessness feels very different from saying "that is a homeless woman". I have found that many of us learned to be unkind to ourselves in our heads and often speak to ourselves very critically and without patience and gentleness. The longest relationship we will ever have is with ourselves and I have found that how we treat ourselves makes a great deal of difference to our sense of well-being and happiness. When we have problems that feel insurmountable, we can work on breaking issues down in a way that helps us cope and makes them manageable. We can then begin to take steps that may be small but are still progress in the direction we desire and which will result in getting us to where we want to be in our future.

Life is full of messy tensions. People who are supposed to be the safest let us down. The things we know are good for us can be the most difficult to follow through. At one moment, we feel paralyzed by inaction, and in the next, we can be flooded by thoughts. Sorting through these tensions alone can be scary, frustrating, and exhausting. Whether you are suffering from chronic emotional pain or looking for ways to increase your ability to thrive, I commend you for taking the first steps towards therapy. At its best, therapy can be a warm place to affirm and own your strengths, while also being a safe place to confront and change the unhealthy patterns we all develop. In my approach to therapy, I believe that symptom reduction is a necessary part of the process but understanding the root of our struggles is essential to lifelong change. Therapy can offer the opportunity do cultivate a deep sense of self-understanding, help us confront our normal human limitations, and be the catalyst for living into the lives we want to lead. My therapeutic approach has been shaped by serving diverse populations across multiple settings ranging from downtown urban centers, immigrant communities, and suburban healthcare clinics. From my time working in primary care medical settings, I embrace the notion that living a full and flourishing life not only means healing from past wounds but also taking preventative measures to build resilience and develop healthy rhythms of living. Reaching out to a therapist is daunting and demands a high degree of vulnerability to entrust your story to a new person. If you are looking for a collaborative process and someone to stick with you through the hard and long journey of self-discovery, I invite you schedule a free consultation to see if we may be a good fit.

I am a Christian Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist offering counseling from a Christian perspective. I offer a safe place to share your struggles addressing both psychological and spiritual components. My specialties are working with individuals seeking mental health services from a Christian perspective.

Welcome to my practice! I am a licensed clinical psychologist in both Oregon and California, bilingual in Farsi (Persian), with over 15 years of experience providing treatment to children, adolescents, and adults. I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges an individual faces in life, including depression, anxiety, traumatic experiences, grief, relationship and parenting issues, work and academic stress, chronic health issues, as well as acculturation and immigration issues. My therapeutic approach is based on the belief that individuals want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives. Through therapy, I help them cultivate strengths while repairing prior damages, regaining control over struggles, and developing new skills. I have a flexible therapeutic style that draws from several major theoretical approaches to psychotherapy and is tailored to each individual’s needs, cultural background, and expectations from therapy. My goal is to collaborate with each client to help them achieve a greater sense of happiness, peace, and satisfaction in their lives.

For creatives, the act of creating is as complex as it is sacred. You work in a world where imagination must be boundless, emotions accessible, and resilience ever-present in the face of numerous rejections. It has been my honor and privilege to support many of the extraordinary voices behind film, television, and the fine arts—writers, showrunners, filmmakers, directors, actors, costume designers, and creative executives. Each has a unique journey, yet all share the vulnerability and intensity that the creative life demands. I understand that to be a creative professional means navigating the challenges related to art and commerce, self-doubt, rejection, worklife balance and uncertainty. Whether you’re immersed in the quiet solitude of writing a spec script or coordinating with others on a complex set, the process is uniquely yours—and it deserves a space of reflection and support. I’m a firm believer that healing begins when we let ourselves be seen—really seen—for who we are. Therapy isn’t about fixing; it’s about becoming. It’s about peeling back the layers of expectations, fears, and self-doubt to reconnect with what truly matters to you. In this space, we’ll explore how you’ve internalized messages from family, culture, or society, and work toward letting go of what no longer serves you. The goal is to help you cultivate a sense of belonging within yourself so that you can live a life filled with meaningful work, deep relationships, and authentic joy. Therapy for creatives, women's issues, ethical non-monogamy and therapy for therapists are some of my main areas of focus. I am also certified in EMDR and approach all my work through a trauma informed lens. Call or email me today if you have questions or wish to explore if we are a strong fit.

We seek therapy in order to decrease suffering. My commitment is to aide you in achieving this goal. Where we focus-- whether that's on your current experience, on your early attachment to caregivers, or on developing effective coping skills-- depends on what you feel is most important. This is one of the things we address in our first consultation. Often we carry the solutions to our problems within ourselves. My work is to elicit these solutions. I approach this by seeking to increase both your and my awareness. Our awareness of where things in your life come from, what purpose they're trying to serve, what your values are, what works for you and what doesn't work so well. Therapy is deeply collaborative. It requires your sense of being safe and free from judgment as much as it does my compassion and training. It can be one of the most creative works in a person's life, in which they take an active and effective hand in making that life. I look forward to working with you.

WE ARE ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS.

I am passionate about working with young adults and adults who are navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, identity shifts, and feeling disconnected from themselves. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside, but internally feel lost, burned out, or unsure of who they are or what they want. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California, I go beyond just talking about your week. We’ll explore the deeper patterns driving your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, so you can gain clarity, feel more in control, and start showing up in your life in a way that actually feels authentic to you.

Therapy should feel accessible, practical, and useful. I believe you are the expert on your own experience and have the capacity to create meaningful change. My role is to understand your perspective, build on your strengths, and help you develop practical strategies for managing thoughts, emotions, relationships, and everyday challenges. I use an individualized, collaborative approach drawing from CBT, trauma-informed therapy, attachment-based therapy, and supportive psychotherapy. Together, we identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, increase insight and emotional regulation, and develop skills that help you feel more grounded, confident, and capable.

I'm a New York city-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). I am also licensed in the state of California. I work with individual adults as they manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, marriage, relationship, and dating issues, aging and caregiving concerns, parenting, pregnancy, and career and life transitions. Therapy meets you where you are. Clients seek my help for many reasons. Whether you're struggling with a crisis, managing painful or difficult emotions, or just interested in learning more about yourself, therapy can help you explore who you are and what has shaped you. Examining your personal history helps you begin the discovery process. Sometimes we adopt roles based on old patterns that don't serve us any longer. I help my clients uncover the stories they've convinced themselves or true, or that others have told you. These stories often keep you stuck. Therapy helps you identify unconscious obstacles to achieving goals, enabling you to begin the healing process feeling authentic and happier. I work with adults of all ages and backgrounds. I have over 20 years of experience working successfully with individuals suffering from depression, anxiety and who are experiencing problems in their relationships. I have expertise in working with individuals who have mentally ill family members, as well as caregivers; individuals coping with the pressure of caring for aging loved ones.
