Are you tired of constantly feeling stressed and overwhelmed? Do you find yourself snapping at others or experiencing emotions that feel out of control? Perhaps parts of your childhood feel blurry, or you only remember them through unsettling dreams. As someone who has experienced anxiety and trauma firsthand, I understand how isolating and confusing these feelings can be. But you don’t have to navigate them alone! With my training in trauma-informed and anxiety-reducing approaches, I work collaboratively with you to uncover how life’s challenges are impacting you. Together, we’ll explore the connections between past experiences, current stressors, and the ways they show up in your life today. My goal is to empower you with insights and skills to bring peace and control into your present. As a child of Iranian immigrants, I also understand the unique challenges of being a BIPOC cycle breaker or navigating bi-cultural identity. I bring a compassionate and culturally informed approach to help you find authenticity in your identity while balancing family relationships across generational and cultural divides. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d love to support you on your journey. Book a free consultation today— I look forward to working with you!
