We all go through life struggles at times, and
we have friends or relative to hear us out. But
what about those times when they can’t?
What about the times when they can’t
understand our struggles? Are they capable
of handling our sensitive issues? Can their
good intentions end up being destructive?
Life can be a challenge, but the challenge
can become a joy once you find the right
person to get help from, one who can give
you the tools for a happy life.
As an experienced psychotherapist I am
available to hear you out, help you to go
where you want and to feel the joy and
happiness life has meant for you to have.

For me, therapy is a dance between expression and
action. My approach with clients
is direct, clear, and no-nonsense. As an Iranian
American, my personal and professional
understanding of relationship dynamics between
families and generational challenges
brought on by the pressures of multiple cultures
allows me to fully support and
help clients work through the challenges uniquely
presented to them.
I work with individuals weighed down by
depression, those navigating anxiety/performance
pressure–specifically in the arts, challenges
presented to first/second
generation Americans, and those navigating new
transitions (e.g. new relationships,
parenthood, divorce, new career/location change).
My life experiences– growing up as the child of
immigrants, my work as a
professional musician, and now as a
psychotherapist– have strengthened the
idea that a comprehensive grasp of ourselves
allows us to gain a better understanding
of how we fit into our ever-changing and
challenging world. I look forward to
starting this process with you.

California via telehealth and in person

lead to change. I am an Iranian-American

positive change. In a safe environment we will

more. Together, you and I will work to build on
your strengths while challenging negative beliefs.

well. With my younger clients I very often use
play and art therapy. My office is located in
