Therapist

I am a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade of experience providing specialized, confidential telehealth. My practice is built to support ambitious individuals—including busy professionals and dedicated college students—navigating high-pressure environments, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

Because your schedule is already packed with work or demanding coursework, I offer dedicated session times outside standard hours, including early mornings and weekends. Whether you are dealing with academic/professional burnout, family-of-origin issues, or deep emotional blocks, I provide a warm, inclusive space to unburden those patterns. I practice fluidly in English, Spanish, and Spanglish, honoring your unique cultural or bicultural lived experience.

Hello, I'm Mojgan. If depression, anxiety, “overthinking” and past traumas are affecting you and your relationships, please know there is hope, and healing is possible. I offer a warm, respectful, and emotionally safe space where you can explore life’s challenges with understanding and compassion. Drawing on over 20 years of clinical experience, I work collaboratively with you to help deepen self-understanding, heal from past traumas, strengthen relationships, and navigate changes. Reaching out for the first time takes courage, and you do not need to have the right words for it yet. If any of this sounds like what you have been carrying, I would be glad to hear from you, and we can start wherever feels most comfortable for you.
