Quiet disconnection has a way through. I offer presence that stays with the part of you still searching for words.

About

If you are feeling quietly disconnected from life, moving through grief, chronic pain, divorce, burnout, or a career shift, if your relationships feel hard or you feel a low-grade unease about the world, you might be ready for a different kind of conversation. Not one that advises from a distance. What I offer is different in the quality of presence behind it: attention that doesn't just track what you're saying, but stays with the part of you still searching for words, or the part that's given up looking. With that kind of accompaniment, it is possible to feel connected again: to yourself, to others, to life.

My work is relational with close attention to the recurring patterns that quietly shape your life, including exploring cultural and family-of-origin dynamics. I bring curiosity to all parts of you, until they feel safe to rest and shine. My own experience of immigration and corporate life allows me to hold a wide range of worlds in the therapy room.

I am bilingual in English and Farsi, and would be honoured to share your transformation journey. I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation, a relaxed conversation to get a sense of what's bringing you to therapy and what you're hoping for. A beginning.
