“We are all responsible for our own destiny as we make our own lives based on our own experiences and unfortunately faulty experiences create faulty results”

About

Each of us is responsible for our own destiny

Born and raised in Abaddon Iran, growing up in a culture shrouded by gender inequality.

In 1979 amidst the Iranian Revolution, I escaped the turmoil by immigrating to the United States where I diligently continued my education and enjoyed American ideals such as freedom of speech and women’s rights.

I took the California state board of nursing exams and began working as an intensive care nurse for metropolitan hospitals, including UCLA Medical Center. I ultimately chose to return to school after 10 years in the field.

I returned to school to continue my graduate work pursuing a degree in psychology while simultaneously working as a nurse. I received M.A. in Counseling Psychology from La Jolla University in San Diego (1993) and her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from The Union Institute in Cincinnati, Ohio1996.

Being a woman of two very different cultures, I learned the skills, insights, and objectivity necessary to successfully evaluate the challenges we face and provide the imperative support for transforming our lives.

I am a licensed Psychologist (17628) and RN, I provide treatment for individual adults and couples. I am a compassionate therapist and a good listener; I build rapport with my clients easily. My therapy modalities are specifically tailored to client needs. My specialties are:
