I’m a sunny San Diego native with Persian and Kurdish roots, and a Muslim background. I take a strong needs-based approach in therapy. I have worked with diverse client/patient populations in community mental health centers, psychiatric hospitals, and college campuses. I do my best to practice what I preach (so I get it, therapy is challenging AND fruitful!) and I continuously strive for balance in all areas of my life. I absolutely love what I do: I love growth, and I love helping others invest in their growth. In my personal life, I’m an avid reader/writer, horror buff, beach bum, lone traveler, and a black coffee connoisseur.
Our goal is to challenge the stigma of seeking support for mental health issues in our communities; by providing services and psychoeducation through workshops, group sessions, and individual sessions.
