We have all felt it at one time or another. Lost. Alone. Uncertain and hesitant. Less than. The life that we want is just out of reach. In the modern world greater connectedness often rings hollow and false. We want to be connected. To be seen. To be known, deeply, authentically, for who we are in our core. We weren't born to feel the way we do, but for something more. Something better. Something we can achieve together.

Hello, my name is Roksana Sarrafan, a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I take a compassionate and client-centered approach, helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and transitions. I focus on life transitions, relationship issues, and cultural identity. I understand how cultural backgrounds can impact personal and relational dynamics, and I'm dedicated to supporting clients in reaching their goals and improving their quality of life.

We are not victims of this life. We wake up everyday with choices we can make. Life is a journey that should enhance who we are and should help us grow personally and professionally. I truly believe that events in life ‘‘happen for you, not to you.’’ When we adapt that mentality, we are able to utilize the obstacle in our lives as opportunities to grow and enhance our existence. In treatment I help my clients process past events that occurred in their lives in order for them to understand how those events affected their lives and shaped their existence.

I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment to explore individual needs. I am a supportive listener who demonstrates warmth, empathy, and genuineness. I use an evidence-based therapeutic approach of cognitive behavioral therapy incorporating client-centered behavioral therapy. I work collaboratively with clients to establish goals to help improve mood and gain tools to cope with life's challenges.

In life, different circumstances can arise that can affect our mental health. Although these circumstances may be inevitable, I would like to be able to be a resource to help you during those times.
