About me

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in California, committed to helping adults and couples navigate life’s challenges with empathy and expertise. My work focuses on addressing mood disorders, anxiety, personality-related concerns, grief, life transitions, and relationship complications. I also provide support for overcoming trauma, building self-confidence, and enhancing self-esteem.I am fluent in both English and Farsi (Persian) and have extensive experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, I’ll create a warm, welcoming environment where you can share your story and begin outlining your goals. We’ll explore what led you to seek therapy, discussing your current concerns, desires, challenges, vulnerabilities, support system, and any risk factors. Together, we’ll clarify the changes you hope to achieve and set the stage for our work ahead. This is also a chance for us to start building a strong therapeutic connection, and for you to ask any questions about the process. My goal is to ensure you feel heard, understood, and supported as we establish a foundation for our work. We’ll also discuss where you want to go in your therapeutic journey and the strategies we’ll use to get there, with an emphasis on building hope and clarity for the path forward.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I believe my greatest strengths are in creating a deeply collaborative and supportive environment where clients feel truly understood and valued. I bring a nuanced, compassionate approach to mental health care, combining evidence-based techniques with genuine empathy to meet each person’s unique needs. My flexible, integrative and holistic style allows me to adapt therapy methods effectively, guiding clients toward clarity, resilience, and meaningful change. Moreover, my experience working in multicultural and diverse settings has enriched my ability to connect with individuals from all backgrounds, helping them overcome challenges and achieve their goals.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My approach integrates insight-oriented techniques grounded in psychodynamic principles, evidence-based strategies like CBT and DBT, humanistic perspectives, and solution-focused methods. In our work together, we form a collaborative partnership: I bring my expertise in psychology, and you bring your unique experiences as the expert of your own life. Together, we will craft a personalized path to help you reach your therapeutic goals. By fostering self-discovery and emotional resilience, we’ll work toward creating a life that feels more purposeful, balanced, and deeply connected to the people and values that matter most to you.
