High satisfaction rate with clients

Nice to meet you

I’m a psychotherapist working with adults and couples navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, depression, relationship stress, life transitions, and substance use. Many clients are high-achieving professionals who feel overwhelmed or disconnected beneath their success. My approach blends evidence-based therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with mindfulness, self-compassion, and psychodynamic work—supporting both immediate relief and deeper change. With a background in corporate and entrepreneurial spaces, I understand career pressure and burnout. I provide culturally responsive, bilingual care (English/Farsi) for diverse and bicultural clients. My style is warm, direct, and action-oriented.
