I am here to support you in navigating life’s challenges and building stronger, healthier relationships in a safe and respectful space.
With over a decade of experience in the mental health field and 15 years as a University Professor in Iran, I bring a compassionate, integrative approach to psychology and counselling. I hold a Ph.D., M.A., and B.Sc. in Psychology from reputable universities, all recognized by the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). As a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) and professional member of the CCPA, I am dedicated to providing evidence-based and culturally responsive care tailored to each client’s unique needs. In addition to individual counselling, I offer family therapy, supporting families in strengthening relationships, improving communication, and navigating life transitions in a safe and supportive space.
I work with individuals and families experiencing a range of challenges, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression. My approach is collaborative and tailored, drawing from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, trauma-informed care, and Emotionally Focused Couple and Family Therapy (EFCT). In family therapy, I use frameworks such as the Family Life Cycle (FLC) to understand life transitions, and tools like genograms and ecomaps to explore family patterns and connections. I also integrate systemic, attachment-based, and strength-based approaches to help clients build healthier relationships, improve communication, and develop resilience.
In addition, my background in industrial and organizational psychology informs my practice as a career counsellor. I support clients facing workplace stress, job burnout, and career transitions, helping them clarify goals, build on their strengths, and move toward greater satisfaction and balance in their professional lives.
offer counselling services in English, Farsi, and Dari, and I am committed to creating a respectful, inclusive, and supportive environment where clients feel understood and empowered, particularly when working with diverse communities.
