I believe you are the expert on your own life - my role is to support you in gaining clarity as you journey toward healing, growth, and living your preferred life.

Maybe you, your partner, or your family are in survival mode while juggling life’s demands or unexpected challenges.Maybe as a couple, you’re feeling stuck or detached, unsure why you can’t understand each other. Or maybe you’re simply looking for support in navigating a specific challenge that’s keeping you, your relationship, or your family from the life and connections you want.

Many people come to therapy feeling like they — or their relationships — are the problem, or that things are beyond repair. The truth is, it’s often not you or your relationships. It’s the unspoken patterns, unmet needs, and expectations that quietly shape how we related and respond to one another.

I specialize in working with couples, individuals, and families navigating the pressures, labels, and assumptions of modern life — helping those who feel stuck in communication challenges, connection struggles, identity questions, career transitions, or life changes. I also support adults in exploring self-discovery, building self-worth, and coping with grief, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

My Background & Approach

My approach is collaborative, client-centered, and compassionate, drawing from Attachment Theory, Narrative Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. Whatever is getting in the way of the relationship or life you want, we can explore it together — with warmth, insight, and a little humor. Therapy isn’t a quick fix — it takes effort and courage — but I’ll be there to guide you, gently push when needed, and always honor your pace.

As the daughter of immigrants, I grew up navigating two cultures, which gave me a deep understanding of how unique and complex each person’s experience can be. Before transitioning to mental health, I spent five years in the Film and Television industry, where my love for storytelling was rooted in relational dynamics and the resilience of the human spirit. This background helps me connect with the complexity of your story and the challenges that come with life.

I received my BA in Communications from the University of California, San Diego, and my MA in Marriage and Family Therapy from the Chicago School. I am Gottman Level 1 trained and speak conversational Farsi. I am also an LGBTQ+ allied therapist committed to providing an inclusive, affirming space for all.
