Therapists in Fairview, OR

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 am a licensed clinical psychologist, bilingual in Farsi (Persian), with over thirteen years of experience providing treatment to children, adolescents, and adults. I work with wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges an individual faces in life including depression, anxiety, traumatic experiences, grief, relationship and parenting issues, work and academic stress as well as acculturation & immigration issues.

You may have experienced disturbing and painful events in your life that make it difficult to move forward, release your true potential and reach your life goals. You may often feel unsafe and untrusting in your own body, mind, or environment with frequent worry, stress and emotional pain that impacts your relationships, sense of self-worth and overall functioning in important areas of your life. The good news is that the human mind and body can have a remarkable capacity to heal given the right conditions. The possibility of improving our lives is a real one that begins with the choice to take a step forward.
