My Approach to Helping
I am a bilingual and bicultural psychologist, providing therapy in Farsi and English. I am certified and have graduated from an advanced training program in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the San Diego Psychoanalytic Center. 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. Through this process, we begin to uncover what lies beneath the surface of repeated emotional crises—helping clients recognize the larger dysfunctional patterns that have affected their lives, which anxiety has often kept them from seeing before.
