About me

Thank you for visiting my page! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I have been a therapist, behavioral health consultant and life coach with over 8 years of experience in the field of mental health. I approach those who choose to work with me from a resilient based, trauma-informed care lens and have been privileged to help a very culturally diverse range of families and individuals navigate their new life circumstances or adjust to their environments. Some of my areas of expertise include couples counseling, adolescent counseling, family counseling, trauma, crisis management, depression and anxiety management, sleep management, and immigrant/refugee readjustment.

When we work together, I help you deal with hard transitions of life through a holistic lens that considers not only you, but also the community and circumstances you are surrounded with. You can expect a safe and judgement free space where I will help you detangle your struggles and help you navigate your way back to the life you desire.

I am fluent in Persian/Farsi and enjoy reading, writing, and traveling (safely) on my free time.
