I support adults and teens who are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, or overwhelming life experiences. My training includes EMDR, TF-CBT, CBT, and mindfulness-based approaches, and I focus on helping clients reduce distress, build resilience, and feel more grounded and empowered. As a bilingual English/Farsi therapist and immigrant, I value cultural sensitivity, identity awareness, and creating a non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences safely and authentically.

I am a bilingual LMFT and LPCC in Southern California with a background in inpatient mental health, trauma care, and private practice. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years in the music industry, which shaped how I see people: complex, creative, and often carrying more than the world can see. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, burnout, and life transitions. I bring warmth, honesty, and a genuine belief that change is possible. I offer sessions in English and Spanish, and I serve clients throughout California via telehealth.

Together, we can make space for what you’ve been carrying, better understand what may be holding you back, and reconnect with your strengths. I offer a warm, affirming, and collaborative space where your story matters and change can happen at a pace that feels right for you.
