My Approach to Helping
I am a bilingual and bicultural psychologist, providing therapy in Farsi and English. With close to 20 years of experience, I have found that the power of the therapeutic process itself plays a key role in giving clients the energy and emotional resources they need to deal with the content of their lives. As a clinical psychologist, I specialize in psychodynamic psychotherapy, helping adults navigate depression, anxiety, and complex relationship dynamics. My approach fosters deep self-awareness, individuation, and the ability to set firm, healthy boundaries. I work with young adults to clarify their values, cultivate fulfilling relationships, and develop a strong sense of agency. Rooted in self-psychology and enriched by a broad theoretical foundation, my work is dedicated to facilitating meaningful, lasting transformation. Through this process, we uncover what lies beneath repeated emotional crises and recognize the larger dysfunctional patterns that have shaped their lives.
