Finding the Help You Deserve

In a society that demands our numbness and fuels constant urgency, slowing down and giving ourselves permission to tend to our needs is a brave act of resistance. Pursuing therapy can feel similar to embarking on a pilgrimage, a journey into the unknown in search of healing, meaning, or answers. While we may begin with the hope of seeking relief, we often discover something deeper: an invitation to meet ourselves and the world with greater compassion, trust, and clarity. I work with individuals presenting with a wide range of concerns, including major life transitions, identity exploration, managing stress or burnout, coping with grief/loss, low self-esteem, people pleasing, perfectionism, anxiety, feelings of isolation or loneliness, and those navigating existential questions around meaning or purpose. My therapeutic approach is best described as relational, attachment-focused, humanistic, and experiential. In practice, this means that our work together would focus on the relationship between us as a space for exploration — noticing emotions, reactions, and patterns as they arise in the moment, and experimenting with new ways of relating to yourself and others. You will be invited to befriend your inner conflicts, explore your story with tenderness, and grow your capacity to connect. I view successful therapy not as a guaranteed end to pain, but as expanded tolerance and openness to the full spectrum of human emotions. Social position/lived experience: As a queer, Iranian (cis)woman and three-time migrant, I am attuned to unspoken struggles and the universal search for belonging, particularly among those experiencing displacement, systemic oppression, or cultural dissonance. I am dedicated to supporting you in understanding and navigating your experiences within these broader frameworks, fostering empowerment, holistic insight, and resilience. It is my greatest honour to walk this path alongside you, as both witness and fellow traveller.
