First session
Our first session will involve an assessment to see what your needs are and also use this time to answer any questions that you might have. By the end of the session, we will have an idea of a general plan for treatment. If it feels like we are a good fit for working together, we will schedule a follow up session.
Strengths
As a Iranian American therapist, I am passionate about serving and advocating on behalf of the Community. I am sensitive to the complex dynamic of individuals with multi-cultural identities and those who may be dealing with cross-cultural issues and immigrants who may often times feel misunderstood. I am particularly interested and can better support you with the following challenges: Life Transitions (grief, caregiving), Anxiety (social anxiety, lack of self-confidence, constant "worrying"), Addictions (substance abuse), Trauma (including immigration, incarceration, emotional abuse, physical/verbal/sexual abuse), Depression, low self esteem, Insomnia, Communication and relationship challenges, and Social justice (legal/criminal).
Ideal clients
Whether you're dealing with relationship challenges or cycles of anxiety, depression and addiction, I can help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. When you're feeling overwhelmed therapy can make the difference between feeling stuck and moving forward. My approach is integrative, and mindfulness based tailored to your needs. So please, don't hesitate to connect with me.
