My path to becoming a therapist was deeply personal, shaped by identity, immigration, and lived experience. Growing up after immigrating from Iran, I witnessed the quiet grief of displacement and navigated the tension of belonging to two cultures while often feeling unseen or misunderstood.
For years, I learned to prioritize logic over emotion, but something felt incomplete. Turning inward—and eventually seeking therapy myself—became a powerful shift. Being truly seen and heard transformed me and showed me how healing it can be to sit with someone who listens with curiosity and care.
Today, I work from a trauma-informed lens, supporting individuals—especially those from historically marginalized communities—who carry intergenerational or ancestral pain. Together, we create space for your story, your voice, and your healing.
