My journey into counselling began long before my formal training. I started my professional life in engineering and data analytics, fields that trained me to think precisely, recognize patterns, and approach complexity with curiosity. Yet, again and again, I found myself drawn not to systems or numbers, but to people, their stories, their struggles, and the quiet courage it takes to be vulnerable. Over time, it became clear that supporting others emotionally was not just an interest, but a calling.

I went on to complete a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and have since worked with individuals, couples, families, trauma survivors, newcomers, and people navigating major life transitions. My professional experience spans trauma counselling, crisis intervention, community mental health, and family support services. These roles shaped me into a therapist who listens deeply, thinks carefully, and holds space with both compassion and steadiness.

Alongside my clinical training, my life experience deeply informs how I show up as a therapist. As a mother, wife, friend, and community member, I understand the emotional weight of responsibility, the complexity of relationships, and the tension between caring for others and caring for oneself. I am familiar with the realities of cultural expectations, migration, identity shifts, and the unseen labour that often accompanies family and relational roles. These lived experiences allow me to meet clients with empathy that is grounded, not theoretical.

Clients often describe my presence as calm, warm, intuitive, and thoughtful; someone who can understand what they are going through while also gently helping them see possibilities they may not yet notice. I value honesty, respect, cultural humility, and faith-sensitive, inclusive practice. My intention is to create a therapeutic environment where clients feel safe, respected, and supported as they explore their inner world at their own pace.

At the heart of my work is a simple belief: every person has the capacity to heal, and with the right support, can reconnect with who they truly want to become.
Whether you are facing anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, identity questions, or a desire for personal growth, I would be honoured to walk alongside you with care, clarity, and respect as you move toward balance, self-understanding, and emotional freedom.

I provide Counselling in both English and Farsi (Persian).
