My passion is in the service of guiding others to assist them in discovering more about themselves and to achieve a sense of fulfillment and harmony in their lives.
I believe that we all have the potential to change our lives, and the ways in which we relate to ourselves, to each other, and to the world around us. Through our work together, we will co-create the possibility for understanding what needs to occur in order to evolve in a different way.
As a therapist, I believe wholeheartedly in the sacred practice of holding compassionate space during intimate and vulnerable moments. As a former Birth Doula and Apprentice Midwife, I have witnessed the impact of consciously preparing for and moving through life’s highs and lows, especially during moments of intensity and overwhelm. It is often during these special moments that we can reconnect with our true essence and unique power, which is also what draws me to psychedelic therapy and integration work.
I was born in Iran, grew up in Israel, and spent most of my adult life in the Bay Area. With a deeply rooted, multicultural lens, I can see the many ways in which we hold and sometimes struggle with our multiple and diverse identities. This struggle can affect the ways in which we relate to ourselves, to our experiences, and to others. Together, we can hold all our identities with compassion and grace while we tend to life’s challenging moments.
I work with a wide range of challenges and identities and experienced with modalities of relational, client-centered, mindfulness, attachment, transpersonal, somatic, and depth psychologies. I received my MA in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies and am LGBTQIA+ friendly.
