I have had the privilege of witnessing people undergo the slow, extremely subtle and remarkable journey of healing and self-transformation. This process of psychological growth is astoundingly complex, multilayered, circular and even mysteriously numinous in its unfolding. My philosophy as a therapist is primarily on core transformation rather than merely symptom management and needless to say, I strongly believe in the centrality of the therapeutic relationship as a significant healing agent. Moving towards our wholeness necessitates the courage to first move into the wounded parts that we all have as members of the human species.
I see all our wounds as the sacred pathways leading us to our wholeness. I specialize in depression and anxiety, chronic pain, multicultural assimilation, crisis of meaning, grief, and loss, relationship difficulties, parenting issues. I am an EMDR specialist and EFT( emotionally focused therapy) trained couple counselor. I am fluent in French and Farsi.
I like to incorporate the wisdom of the body in bringing healing and vitality to my client. I use breath work combined with guided imagery and body access tools in going deeper into the psyche and move toward the integration needed to bring wholeness into my client.
