In a world where we often mold ourselves to fit the expectations of others, understanding and embracing our true selves can be a revolutionary act. My own struggle to find happiness while meeting external demands led me to a profound transformation. Now, I am dedicated to helping my clients discover and celebrate their own unique path to personal fulfillment and mental wellness.

Get To Know Me

Born and raised in a traditional Persian family in Iran, I experienced firsthand the pressures of conforming to societal and familial expectations. Driven by a desire to align with my true self, I left a successful engineering career to pursue a master’s degree in clinical psychology. As someone who was raised biculturally, I have lived and worked in both collectivist and individualistic societies. This unique background gives me insight into how cultural values shape personal identity and behavior. I bring this understanding into my practice, offering a nuanced perspective that respects and incorporates the diverse backgrounds of my clients.

Our sessions will be a safe space where you can freely explore yourself, supported by a relationship built on trust and mutual understanding. With an integrative approach, we’ll focus on aligning your mind, body, and spirit. Together, we’ll explore childhood experiences to uncover the root causes of your current challenges. By incorporating mindfulness and somatic practices, I’ll help you reconnect with your physical sensations and present-moment experiences. Above all, my method is tailored to your needs, helping you unravel the narratives that have shaped your life and guiding you towards genuine self-acceptance and healing.

Pepperdine University (Los Angeles, CA), Masters in Clinical Psychology

Azad University (Tehran, Iran), Masters in Clinical Psychology
