I came to therapy the way many people do, because something broke. I lost my best friend, suddenly and tragically, and the grief carried me into a therapist’s office. I stayed. What happened in that room changed the direction of my life, enough that I went back to school to do this for a living. I’ve been in my own therapy ever since, and I’m seven years into psychoanalysis now. I don’t ask clients to go anywhere I haven’t been willing to go myself.
I didn’t grow up planning any of this. I packed my life into two suitcases at sixteen and left Iran. High school in London, then the United States at nineteen, alone, with almost no English. That road, leaving everything familiar for a future no one promised me, is the thing that shaped me most. It’s also why this work feels close to me. Therapy is its own walk into the unknown, and I’ve made that walk myself.
A lot of therapists will tell you what you want to hear. I won’t. I don’t offer reassurance for its own sake or textbook advice, and I won’t hand you a kinder story about your life than the true one. What I offer instead is honesty, and the patience to stay with what’s difficult until it starts to make sense.
I work beneath the surface, with the parts of you that run the show without asking permission: the old loyalties, the patterns you inherited, the things you learned to expect from people long before you had language for them. That’s where change actually happens, and it’s where I spend my attention.
The other thing I bring is range. I’ve lived a wide life across countries, languages, and kinds of work, and very little of what people carry into the room is unfamiliar to me. You won’t have to explain your whole world before we can begin. Whether you come from immigration, a demanding career, a quiet grief, or a life that looks fine from the outside and doesn’t feel that way, I can sit with it without looking away.
I earned both my Bachelor’s in Psychology and my Master of Science, with a focus on Marriage and Family Therapy, at Texas Woman’s University, and I’m a board-licensed LMFT in Texas. I’m a member of the Texas Association for Marriage and Family Therapy and the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy.
Beyond the degree, my training includes:
I also keep myself in weekly supervision and consultation groups, and I continue my own weekly psychoanalysis. I don’t think of that as extra. I think of it as the standard of care I want in every session.
