I offer an attachment based holistic approach to therapy, seeing you as a complex whole person. I believe in the Daoist saying about the human life: “There are ten thousand joys and ten thousand sorrows.” I believe this to be a profound and inescapable truth. Therapy offers an opportunity for support through the sorrows and a celebration of the joys.

Are you finding yourself focusing on the past, anxious about the future, or overall stressed about circumstances in your life? Are you struggling in relationships, and finding it difficult to set and maintain boundaries with others? Do you find yourself being overly critical of yourself? Are you finding past events still affecting how you view and interact with the world around you? Life can be hard, and we all develop ways of coping through tough times. Sometimes those ways of coping are no longer effective for us, and we deserve to learn what works for us so we can live a peaceful, healthy, happy life.

You deserve to feel heard and accepted. My goal is to help you experience a greater sense of well-being and contentment in your life. What I enjoy most about counseling is having the privilege of sharing authentic connections with people who want to feel better and see their lives improved. I work with individual adults and have a special interest in helping women who are in life transition. Many clients come to me seeking help for grief and loss, depression, anxiety, issues with adult children, family cutoffs, trauma, early attachment and self-esteem issues, and more.

I offer a judgment free space where you can comfortably be yourself. I value humor in therapy and believe it can ease anxiety, and build trust and connection. If you are feeling overwhelmed by the weight of life expectations; feeling stuck in the same old patterns; experiencing loneliness; facing challenges in decision-making and self-trust, then you might be in the right place. I have a deep passion for working with food service workers, working-class, and first-generation Americans/undocumented folks dealing with the stress of discrimination, fear of deportation, and the immense pressure of family and societal expectations.

Would you like to be living a more meaningful, authentic life? Many of the people I see struggle to prioritize themselves for a variety of reasons. This can often lead to feelings of burnout and loss of motivation. Taking time to reconnect with what matters most and identifying your next steps can be a transformative experience. Whether you are looking to increase insight, improve your relationship, or become a better version of you, therapy can be a very useful tool. I will work collaboratively with you to identify your unique needs and provide a place for you to pursue the changes you seek.

My work has strongly focused on at-risk children, adolescents, and families and the use of tested and effective treatments. I have had many years of experience with children and youth at risk due to problem behaviors and ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, delinquency, and other risks out of children's control, such as poverty, parental corrections involvement, and foster care. I most typically work directly with parents (and other adults) who are experiencing difficulties with parenting strategies, stress and anxiety, depression, and/or alcohol and substance use.

I have been practicing in Oregon since 1985. I am very open, honest and interactive. I enjoy what I do and to see clients being empowered to make a difference for themselves in their lives, is my reward. I am bilingual and speak Farsi. I have worked with individuals, couples, families and teenagers of all cultures. Being culturally different has given me a more of a perspective to allow more understanding and compassion in helping others.

"Being human is not about being any one particular way; it is about being as life creates you-with your own particular strengths and weaknesses, gifts and challenges, quirks and oddities." Here, Kristin Neff gently reminds us that the gift of life is experienced through the journey of coming in to your own being. As a healing professional, I would be honored to accompany you on your journey of exploring the unique aspects of your humanness that cause you to get stuck and limit your access to abundance.

Are anxiety and low self-worth regulars in your life? The process of recognizing old stories, beliefs, and patterns can be overwhelming. It can bring up confusion, fear and grief. Changing old ways, that once kept you safe, can feel ungrounding and chaotic. Shifting what you've been familiar and comfortable with is deeply challenging and takes a great deal of strength and vulnerability. I believe healing, growth and change are lifelong practices, and transformation requires time, space, patience and self-compassion. Therapy can offer a safe and caring relationship that supports you in doing this life changing work.
