About My Clients

“You’ve done everything ‘right’… so why doesn’t it feel right?” Many of my clients come to me feeling weighed down by relationship struggles, burnout, low self-esteem, or the constant pressure of work. Maybe you’ve done everything “right” and still feel anxious, disconnected, or uncertain about whether the life you’ve built truly fits you. On the outside, you might be seen as strong and capable, but inside you may be craving support, clarity, and a space to finally breathe.

My Background and Approach

My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and is culturally responsive, insight-driven, and warm. I provide a collaborative space where we can strengthen your relationships, reconnect with your values, and move forward with greater clarity and authenticity. I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology with a focus on Health Psychology from the University of Houston and am a Licensed Psychologist in Texas. I have worked across diverse settings, including hospitals, outpatient centers, the fire department, autism clinics, and private practice, which has shaped my ability to meet clients with both expertise and compassion.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a Persian-American psychologist, I value cultural diversity and strive to create a space where your unique background, experiences, and identity are fully honored. I believe in approaching therapy with authenticity, humor, and genuine curiosity so that together we can explore what truly matters to you in a way that feels real and human. My goal is to meet you where you are, support your growth, and help you navigate life’s challenges with both insight and compassion.
