From there, we will work together to overcome past trauma, negative self-beliefs, or whatever your individual stuck points. Therapy can help you strengthen your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. You do not need to walk this path alone. Whatever your struggle or need, it’s something we can work through together. Make the choice and request a free 15-minute consultation to get the help you need starting today.

Accepting new clients for in-person or telehealth appointments. You don't need to know exactly why you are seeking counseling. Common topics addressed in counseling are issues with self-esteem, finding purpose and meaning in life, relationship concerns, stressful life circumstances, psychological education and/or symptom improvement. Whether you have goals or are needing to figure that out, I can be flexible and hopefully useful! I have 20 years of experience working with all ranges of presenting issues (intense psychosis to everyday stress) and can vary the approach to one that best suits your unique experience.

When life feels presents us with stress, whether it be from anxiety, depression, or trauma, it is not uncommon to feel overwhelmed and a sense that our lives have become unmanageable. My greatest satisfaction comes with assisting individuals in recognizing their power to grow and thrive. I assist my clients, who include adolescents and adults, in finding ways to change their relationship to thoughts and emotions and develop a stronger sense of self, establishing core values, and creating an action plan linked to goals based on those values.

I have been practicing in Oregon since 1985. I am very open, honest and interactive. I enjoy what I do and to see clients being empowered to make a difference for themselves in their lives, is my reward. I am bilingual and speak Farsi. I have worked with individuals, couples, families and teenagers of all cultures. Being culturally different has given me a more of a perspective to allow more understanding and compassion in helping others.

I work with adults and teens in the following areas: anxiety, low self-esteem, increased stress, depression, difficulty adjusting to changes in life and career coaching/counseling.
I believe that we all have the power deep inside of us to make the changes that we want in our lives. Sometimes it just takes a little bit of extra support and a different perspective along the way. My counseling approach is one of care, compassion, and empathy. It is important to build a strong therapeutic relationship with my client, one that feels comfortable and free from judgment and shame. Therapy is an opportunity for expression, self-exploration, healing, and learning new skills and strategies to address the issues that are getting in your way. Taking care of your mental health is as important as your physical health.

Reasons for seeking therapy are unique to each of us; we may suffer due to difficult relationships, grief, loss, neglect or may just feel lost, stuck, or empty. Symptoms, such as anxiety and depression, hold information for us and can be invitations to growth that lead to new ways of knowing ourselves. Regular encounters of support, validation, and connection in a non-judgmental environment allow us to explore and sort out the chaos that comes at us and churns within us daily.

Life Coaching Therapists
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.
Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.
Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.
How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
