Anxiety has become one of the most prominent mental health issues in the world. The fast-paced world that we live conditions many of us to believe that high anxiety levels are the norm and while healthy levels of stress can keep us motivated. Excessive and ongoing feelings of anxiety and worry can negatively impact both our health, and our ability to function at an optimal level. Often, these feelings stem from our past and appear in our present – negatively impacting our daily life.

My approach to treatment is client-centered and strengths-based. My relationship with my clients is based on a shared vision for progress in therapy, non-judgment, and mutual respect. I generously use humour and metaphor in my work, and I encourage my clients to control the pace of therapy to suit their needs and values best.

All the dear Persian speakers who want to communicate with their psychologist in Farsi can contact me. Having a good mood and a good relationship is the natural right of all of us human beings. Do not deny yourself this right. If you think you haven't been enjoying your life enough for a while, if you think you had experiences in your childhood that are preventing you from feeling good now, you can get rid of them forever by starting schema therapy.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself and from others? Are you struggling with distressing thoughts and feelings? Are you desiring to understand yourself better and to nourish aspects of yourself that have been dormant? Perhaps you are seeking a space to feel witnessed, supported, and understood. Together, we can explore where you are coming from, what is holding you back, and where you want to go. My experience as a counsellor continues to teach me about the transformative possibilities that exist as we dissolve the sense of aloneness that so many of us feel.

Supporting a child or a loved one who is struggling with mental illness can be confusing, overwhelming, and just plain tough. Navigating systems can feel hopeless and pointless. It's like a roller coaster that won’t let you off; leaving you exhausted (and maybe even a little nauseous). Your other responsibilities and your own self-care just seem to fly right out the window. You’ve tried everything to help your loved one, but nothing seems to work. Maybe their personality has changed, and you are worried that things could get even worse. You may even wonder where you went wrong.
