About Me

I am a dedicated clinical psychologist with a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and a passion for helping individuals achieve emotional well-being. My journey in mental health began in Iran, where I earned my medical degree and practiced as both an internal medicine specialist and a consultant physician in mental health. Since transitioning to the United States, I have expanded my expertise by working in various psychiatric hospitals and clinics, combining my medical background with my psychological training to provide a holistic approach to mental health care.

My Approach

With extensive experience in mental health, I specialize in providing therapy to individuals navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and loss. My therapeutic methods are rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These evidence-based approaches empower clients to:

• Set meaningful goals.
• Manage their emotions effectively.
• Resolve challenges with confidence and clarity.

As a clinician, I believe in fostering a calm, safe, and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions and work toward their personal growth.

Areas of Expertise

In addition to psychotherapy, I provide expert assessments for a range of mental health and developmental conditions, including:

• Mood Disorders (e.g., depression, bipolar disorder).
• Personality Disorders (e.g., borderline personality disorder).
• Learning Disabilities.
• Giftedness Assessments (identifying and supporting gifted children).

Through these assessments, I aim to collaborate with individuals and their families to create personalized treatment plans and help them thrive in their personal and academic lives.

Why Work With Me?

With years of experience as both a physician and psychotherapist, I bring a unique perspective to mental health care. My diverse background allows me to approach each client with compassion, insight, and a deep understanding of the mind-body connection. Whether you’re seeking therapy, an assessment, or support with emotional challenges, I am committed to helping you find balance, growth, and peace.Let’s work together to navigate life’s challenges and achieve the emotional harmony you deserve.
