About me
I am licensed in California with 11 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, & trauma and abuse. I also have experience working with depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

There are a days I don’t feel like I have all my thoughts together and it’s hard for me to articulate what I’m feeling, but Roya is the best at helping me find the words and understands how I feel.

Roya is clearly an expert in her field. She listens with empathy and strikes the right balance of warmth and vulnerability with being direct. She explains “the why” really well, which helps me understand the origin of my emotions and reactions, and how to address them. She also understands cultural context that can be difficult to explain. I highly recommend Roya! Thank you!
