About My Clients

Are you grappling with anxiety, life transitions, adversities, or grief? Are you navigating challenges related to sexuality, sexual issues, relational issues, or difficulties in communication? Do you find yourself feeling stuck, lost, or discouraged due to experiences of trauma or family-related issues? Whether you're an individual or part of a couple, I provide support to adults from all backgrounds. I offer virtual therapy to individuals in the states of CA, OR, & HI.

My Background and Approach

I work collaboratively with you, meeting you where you are at & drawing upon tools from my training. I create a safe, judgment-free space to foster connection & growth. I navigate the complexities & beauty of being bicultural & an immigrant. I can connect with the unique aspects of intertwining two cultures & relate to the challenges with migrating. As an aspiring breathwork practitioner, I integrate a holistic approach connecting the mind, body, & breath. Trained in sex therapy, I approach my work with a sex positive lens. I am licensed in CA, OR, & HI, offering individual & couples therapy, as well as breathwork coaching. I accept Aetna for individual therapy. For couples therapy & breathwork coaching, I do not accept insurance. To get started, reach out via email, & I'll provide you with a consultation form. We can then schedule a 15-minute free consultation.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I was born in Iran and moved to Canada as a young child. I spent most of my upbringing in Southern California. I'm bilingual in Farsi and English as well as bicultural as Persian-American. I reside in Portland with my partner, dog, and two cats. During my time off, I enjoy hiking, reading, yoga, traveling, acupuncture and eating delicious desserts!
