I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with a Master’s in Education in Counseling. I bring over six years of experience as a Mental Health Counselor and advocate, High School Counselor in Seattle, and an Adjunct Faculty Counselor Educator at Seattle University. As a therapist, I specialize in working with teens and young adults. I have years of experience working with People of Color, people who identify as LGBTQIA+, and individuals who have neurodivergence, and center identity in my work. I have specific interest in working with people who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, school related issues, are experiencing life transitions, and those who simply feel they could benefit from having a caring and supportive professional to talk to.

As a Queer, mixed, Persian-American woman from an immigrant family, I bring lived experience and cultural humility to my work. I am deeply aware of how power, privilege, and systemic inequities shape mental health and access to care. My practice is rooted in anti-oppressive values, and I strive to create affirming, inclusive spaces where clients feel seen and supported in all their identities. I carry a calming, grounded presence. I am someone who communicates clearly, builds strong relationships, and brings humor, adaptability, and high standards to every setting. I am skilled at collaboration and believe that therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to create goals and create an environment that focuses on client need and desire. If you’re looking for a therapist who brings clinical expertise, cultural insight, and a deep commitment to wellbeing, I’d be honored to connect.
