Somewhere in you, nothing is broken. I help you learn to trust it.

About

Somewhere in you, nothing is broken. I help you learn to trust it, whatever state you're in. You may be quietly disconnected, moving through grief, chronic pain, divorce, burnout, or a career shift, or finding relationships hard. You may not yet have a name for it. Whatever brings you here, this is a different kind of care. Not advice from a distance, but presence: attention that stays with the part of you still searching for words, or the part that's given up looking. You only need to be willing to show up as you are and we go at your pace. It's possible to feel connected again: to yourself, to others, to life.

With me, you'll be held and gently challenged, not analyzed. I listen closely, and we only explore what you're ready for. I'm curious about patterns that shape your life, including cultural and family-of-origin dynamics, and how you learned to protect yourself, without judgment. Having lived through immigration and demanding careers, I can hold many worlds.

A complimentary 15-minute consultation is a beginning. You can tell me what's bringing you to therapy and ask me anything about how I work and what to expect, so you can decide if we're a good fit. I offer sessions in English, Farsi, or both.
