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.
