My Approach to Therapy

My passion and specialization are anxiety, whether it is a result of trauma or an inherited anxiety disorder, such as panic disorder or OCD. My typical clients experience panic attacks, trauma flashbacks, feelings of unreality, night terrors, feelings of detachment, flying phobia, fear of death or suicide, fear of losing control, fear of going insane, fear of open spaces, fear of embarrassment or rejection, fear of being trapped, panic while driving, violent intrusive thoughts, checking compulsions, and constant daily anxiety about work, love life, and transitions. If you feel plagued by constant rumination, compulsions, flashbacks, or nightmares, I would love to help. I incorporate therapies including ERP and ACT for OCD (BTTI-trained), EMDR, parts work, and somatic experiencing for traumatic stress. Please contact me for a phone consultation or send me an email about yourself to begin a conversation about how I can help you heal and move forward in your life.

My Practice & Services

My practice is sex-positive and celebrates all cultural backgrounds, ethnicities, genders, sexes, and sexual orientations. I am a member of the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom as a kink-knowledgeable therapist. I offer special insight into Middle Eastern Iranian American culture and speak Farsi.

How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist

My own struggle with Panic Disorder, and OCD has deeply enriched my practice. Knowing these issues on a personal level helps me to accurately diagnose and treat them much more quickly and effectively.
