About me

My path into psychotherapy began early in life through personal challenges and the constant questions they raised: “Why is it like this? How can it change? What else can I do?” This search for answers, and the wish to support others in finding a way out of feeling stuck, led me to this profession. I studied Clinical Psychology (B.A. & M.Sc.) in Iran, worked there as a psychotherapist, and today I continue my psychotherapy Ausbildung in Germany. For me, therapy means opening a path from helplessness toward the possibility of movement; it means being able to face real feelings without shame or fear. Over the years, I have worked with people struggling with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, or unresolved trauma; with those questioning their identity or sexual orientation while facing pressures from family or society; with individuals whose lives were limited by low self-esteem or painful relationships; with people experiencing the grief of losing loved ones; and sometimes simply with those searching for a new direction in life. For low incomes, a sliding scale is possible. If you have financial difficulties contact me to find a fair fee together.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Existential analysisRecommended for those who are searching for deeper meaning in life or are struggling with big questions about existence, freedom, and purpose.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
Systemic therapyRecommended for those who want to understand how their relationships and environments influence their behavior and emotions, particularly within family or organizational systems.
My approach integrates psychodynamic, systemic, and existential perspectives, while also drawing on practical tools from CBT. I am eager to hear each person’s story from their own perspective, with their unique concerns, priorities, and experiences. Ambiguities, contradictions, and repetitive patterns of thought or behavior often become sources of distress, and when these patterns are better understood, emotions can be experienced with greater authenticity and clarity. I see these challenges as always emerging within a relational context—whether in family dynamics, intimate relationships, or the broader social environment. In therapy, we look at how the past has shaped meaning, and how those meanings continue to influence present choices and the quality of life today. Through this process, clients often develop deeper self-understanding and insight—a foundation for change, freedom, and relief from suffering. Alongside this analytic and reflective work, I also integrate skills that help regulate anxiety, depression, and other difficult emotions, and foster the capacity to build resilience and lasting changes in everyday life.
