We all go through life struggles at times, and we have friends or relative to hear us out. But what about those times when they can’t? What about the times when they can’t understand our struggles? Are they capable of handling our sensitive issues? Can their good intentions end up being destructive?
Life can be a challenge, but the challenge can become a joy once you find the right person to get help from, one who can give you the tools for a happy life.
As an experienced psychotherapist I am available to hear you out, help you to go where you want and to feel the joy and happiness life has meant for you to have.

For me, therapy is a dance between expression and action. My approach with clients is direct, clear, and no-nonsense. As an Iranian American, my personal and professional understanding of relationship dynamics between families and generational challenges brought on by the pressures of multiple cultures allows me to fully support and help clients work through the challenges uniquely presented to them.
I work with individuals weighed down by depression, those navigating anxiety/performance pressure–specifically in the arts, challenges presented to first/second generation Americans, and those navigating new transitions (e.g. new relationships, parenthood, divorce, new career/location change).

My life experiences– growing up as the child of immigrants, my work as a professional musician, and now as a psychotherapist– have strengthened the idea that a comprehensive grasp of ourselves allows us to gain a better understanding of how we fit into our ever-changing and challenging world. I look forward to starting this process with you.

Serving individuals in the state of California via telehealth and in person in Los Angeles.

I have my Ph.D. in clinical psychology and currently working as a pre-licensed clinical psychologist. I also have my medical degree from Iran. I have been working as a consultant physician in the area of Mental Health and as an internal medicine specialist in Iran before moving to the United State. In the U.S, I have worked in several psychiatric hospitals. In my professional roles as a physician and as a psychotherapist, I got extensive experience while assessing and managing mental health conditions.
As a clinician, I have worked with individuals who needed therapy due to having anxiety or depression as well as those who had a history of trauma, loss, or grief. My therapy approach is based on Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) as well as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in order to help clients to set their goals, manage their emotions, and resolve their issues in a calm and peaceful manner.
In addition to psychotherapy, I specialize in assessing a variety of mental conditions including mood disorders, personality disorders, and learning disabilities as well as identifying gifted children through assessment testing. The goal is to work collaboratively with each individual in order to help them progress in their psychotherapy process.

Marriage and Family Therapist
Focusing on Adults, Children and Iranian Community
Modalities: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy/ Solution Focused Therapy

I believe that change is possible. Major milestones or difficult decisions very often can lead to change. I am an Iranian-American licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, who can provide you with the tools you need to facilitate positive change. In a safe environment we will work together to reduce symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, communication blocks, self-image, and much more. Together, you and I will work to build on your strengths while challenging negative beliefs. I work as a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT), though I borrow from other theories as well. With my younger clients I very often use play and art therapy. My office is located in Sherman Oaks where I provide therapy in both Farsi and English.
