Over the years, I’ve come to understand that behind every concern, whether it’s anxiety, relationship struggles, or a sense of being stuck, there is a deeper story that deserves to be heard with care and without judgment. I am a psychologist with over 12 years of experience working with individuals and couples navigating emotional challenges, stress, and relationship dynamics. My work often focuses on helping clients better understand their inner patterns, improve communication, and build more stable and meaningful connections in their lives. I hold a Master’s and PhD in Psychology from Iran and am licensed by the Iranian Organization of Psychology and Counselling (IRPCA). My clinical approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Choice Theory (Reality Therapy). Through CBT, we work to identify and gently challenge unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; through Choice Theory, we explore your needs, values, and sense of agency, supporting you in making choices that align with the life you want to build. In our sessions, I aim to create a space that feels both emotionally safe and thoughtfully structured. A space where you can speak freely, but also gain practical insight and tools. I believe therapy is most effective when it balances understanding with direction, when you feel deeply heard, and also supported in creating meaningful change. Having worked with diverse clients, including immigrants and individuals navigating cultural transitions, I recognize how complex it can be to carry multiple identities, expectations, and unseen pressures. These experiences often shape how we relate to ourselves and others, and I bring this awareness into our work with sensitivity and respect. My role is not to “fix,” but to walk alongside you, helping you make sense of your experiences, reconnect with your strengths, and move toward a life that feels more grounded, intentional, and aligned with who you are. I am committed to offering care that is ethical, compassionate, and clinically sound, while honoring the uniqueness of your story.
