I provide neuropsychological evaluations (testing) to adults with cognitive concerns, such as difficulty with memory, attention, multitasking, "slowing down," or changes in language or personality. I investigate neurological and/or psychiatric factors that may contribute to someone's condition. These evaluations allow for more precise diagnoses and prognoses (what to expect in the future). I provide services in English or Persian ( Farsi), and I am well-experienced in working with professional translators for assessment in other languages (for example, Spanish or Cantonese).

My approach to therapy is warm, companionate, and empathetic. My philosophy is that everyone can become the happy, effective person they desire. Finding and using new skills to access happiness is critical. I use Motivational Interviewing to help my clients gain the motivation they need to change the behaviors that are preventing them from making healthier personal or professional decisions. My training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches also helps me address the depression and anxiety that we all experience on our journey through life.

On the outside, you seem to have it all together, but on the inside, it feels like the fire alarm is going off. This alarm might show up as anxiety, making you second guess your decisions. Expressing yourself or saying no might feel terrifying. You might think you’re not enough or that you’re the problem. Your shoulders are tense, jaw clenched, & chest tight. These experiences are taking you out of your body & intrusive thoughts can be very loud. It might feel like no one is listening, & you’re alone. You’re starting to feel tired, & things you once enjoyed feel hard & scary. You know you want things to feel different & need help.

Therapy provides such a rich opportunity for growth and learning, helping persons to recover from the aftermaths of trauma, abuse and loss, meet the hardships of their lives and thrive. In times like this, with so much anxiety about our collective welfare, it can be an invaluable lifeline. In response to the Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, we are now offering teletherapy (therapy by phone and online by video) for all our clients, whether new or established. Also called telehealth or telebehavioral health, teletherapy can provide vital care and support to individuals, couples and families.
