About My Clients
Are you seeking a space where you can truly be seen and heard? I excel in serving individuals, couples, and families navigating mental health challenges, relational dynamics, and cultural identity issues. My ideal clients seek growth, healing, and insight. I have a particular affinity for minority clients and those facing identity and intergenerational conflicts. Let’s create a warm, supportive environment where you feel empowered to heal and grow.
My Background and Approach
As a middle eastern practitioner in this field, I have a particular relationship to diversity in my work. I have learned that to begin cultivating trust with clients, I must acknowledge my identity as a clinician who holds power and privilege in the therapy space. What I value most as a clinician is meeting my clients where they are and creating a safe space where healing can begin. I embrace folks of all gender identities, orientations, and countries of origin. As a first-generation Iranian-American, I know the challenges and successes of having an integrated cultural identity, personally and professionally. I’ve been privileged to help many minority clients focus on identity and personal agency issues. My approach is designed to fit your needs using a flexible, eclectic, and culturally sensitive lens. I also draw from my training in cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, attachment, and Emotional-focused therapies.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Beginning therapy can be intimidating; you may not know what to expect. I recognize that you are taking a major step forward and seek to honor that by creating a warm and supportive environment where you feel comfortable speaking openly and honestly about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Whether you are seeking help individually, as a couple, or as a family, I strive to make you feel that I understand what’s going on in your life in a supportive, warm, and sensitive manner as we discuss, explore, and develop deeper insights into your current challenges. Therapy sessions with me involve taking time to identify and meet your needs. I can listen and share the burden with you. If there is a particular problem you need to solve, we could approach it together. I aim to provide you with warmth, emotional safety, acceptance, and a sense of empowerment. I want to understand where you’re coming from, what you’re dealing with, and how you envision your growth.
