About

I appreciate working with a diverse population. I love working with people who have the openness and willingness to make a change in improving the quality of their lives. I love working with people who are dreamers and are trying to create some structure in their lives to be able to focus their attention on creating the projects that they are passionate about. I do believe that mental illness can create some limitations in life however my work is about identifying the areas of strengths in people and helping them flourish. In the past I have worked with clients with severe psychotic disorders and have been able to help them use a variety of evidence-based techniques to manage their psychotic symptoms in order to live a life that is based on their values. I have been involved in creating workshops for teaching evidence-based techniques to students and psychologists. Outside my work I love to create art-work such as Persian calligraphy, I love to write poetry and play the piano. I love animals and enjoy spending time with my dogs any chance I get. I also love spending time with my family and creating precious memories with them.
