I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) dedicated to helping individuals, adolescents, couples, and families navigate life's challenges with greater clarity, resilience, and self-understanding. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-informed, creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences and work toward meaningful change.
I have a particular interest in men's mental health, emotional well-being, relationship challenges, parenting, life transitions, and the unique experiences of immigrants and culturally diverse families. I believe that many of the patterns that shape our lives are developed as protective responses to difficult experiences. Together, we work to understand these patterns, strengthen emotional awareness, and develop healthier ways of coping and connecting.
I also support adolescents, youth, and adults experiencing challenges related to ADHD, attention and focus difficulties, emotional regulation, executive functioning, self-esteem, and academic or workplace demands. In addition, I work with individuals struggling with compulsive sexual behaviours, problematic sexual habits, and related relationship concerns, helping them develop greater self-awareness, healthier coping strategies, and meaningful behavioural change.
As an immigrant myself, I understand some of the complexities of navigating multiple cultures, identities, and family expectations. This perspective informs my commitment to providing culturally sensitive and trauma-informed care that respects each client's unique background, values, and lived experiences.
I offer psychotherapy services in both English and Farsi (Persian), allowing clients to express themselves in the language in which they feel most comfortable and understood.
My professional background combines extensive experience in psychology, systems thinking, and human behaviour. I hold postgraduate-level education in psychology and computer engineering, which has shaped my ability to understand both the emotional and practical aspects of personal growth. In addition to my psychotherapy practice, I facilitate men's groups focused on emotional resilience, self-awareness, healthy relationships, and authentic living.
