In our first session, I’ll take time to understand what brought you to therapy, your goals, and your background. You’ll also get a feel for my style and we’ll start working towards a plan that feels supportive and tailored to you.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, perfectionism, early relational and attachment trauma, infertility and reproductive challenges, and postpartum transitions. I also specialize in supporting professionals and creatives who appear high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed on the inside, as well as immigrant and bicultural clients balancing multiple cultural identities

If you’re ready to get to the root of what’s holding you back, we may be a good fit. I work with clients who are ready to uncover patterns, process past experiences, and address challenges while being open to approaches that go beyond traditional talk therapy. My style is warm, relatable, and collaborative focusing on practical tools and creating space for deep healing and growth.

My standard fee is $250 per 50-minute session.

I’m an out-of-network provider, meaning I’m not contracted with insurance companies. If you have a PPO plan with out-of-network benefits, I can help you submit superbills via Thrizer for partial reimbursement (see next FAQ for details).

EMDR Intensive fees vary by package and are listed on the EMDR Intensives page.

As an out of network provider, I provide super bills and I’ve partnered with Thrizer to make using your out-of-network benefits easier. Thrizer can help if you:

• Have out-of-network coverage

• Find insurance forms or superbills confusing

• Have had trouble getting reimbursed in the past

• Prefer to avoid handling claims yourself

Session fees are paid at the time of your appointment. If your plan includes out-of-network benefits, Thrizer can submit claims on your behalf so you can be reimbursed directly. Many PPO plans cover 50–80% of costs after your deductible. During our consult call, I can give you an estimate of your out-of-pocket cost using Thrizer’s benefits checker.

I offer in person sessions in Irvine as well as telehealth sessions across California.

Sessions occur weekly at a consistent time , where a spot will be reserved for you. Therapy is most effective when you are committed and able to show up consistently.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma-informed therapy that helps the brain process and heal from distressing experiences. It uses guided bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or taps to help you reprocess memories and emotions so they feel less overwhelming. EMDR can be especially effective for anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, and deeply rooted patterns.

While EMDR is widely used for trauma, it’s also effective for anxiety, phobias, depression, perfectionism, postpartum challenges, and feeling stuck. EMDR can help reduce the emotional charge around painful memories and patterns that keep showing up in daily life. Many clients find EMDR helpful when traditional talk therapy hasn’t moved them forward in the way they hoped.

An EMDR therapy intensive is a focused and accelerated way of doing therapy. Instead of meeting once a week, we meet for longer sessions—usually a few hours at a time or over several consecutive days—so you have the space to go deeper without interruptions.

This format allows your mind and body to stay more connected to the work, helping you process stuck memories or patterns more efficiently. Many people find that what might take months in weekly therapy can often be addressed in a shorter period of time through an intensive

Somatic therapy helps you connect with your body’s signals and responses, since stress and trauma often live in the body as much as the mind. I integrate body awareness techniques, breathwork, and grounding tools to help you feel more present and connected to yourself.

Yes. As a a first generation Iranian American therapist, I have a deep understanding of the unique challenges and strengths that come with being bicultural or navigating immigrant family dynamics. Therapy can be a space to explore identity, cultural expectations, and belonging
