About me
Originally from Iran and living in the Netherlands since 2018, my journey through anxiety, overwhelm, and identity transitions led me to a path of self-discovery and healing. This transformation inspired me to become a counselor and coach. Today, I integrate both my lived experiences and professional trainings to offer a trauma-informed space for others to explore their inner world, reconnect with their mind and body, and translate insights into meaningful changes in their life and relationships.
I often support my clients in: ❖Relationship challenges and early attachment wounds ❖Parts work, subconscious, and inner child healing ❖Anxiety, burnout, and nervous system regulation ❖Life transitions
I often work with individuals: ❖Who identify as belonging to underrepresented groups, such as the LGBTQIA+ community and people of color ❖Who feel out of place living in societies that have an individualistic culture, especially after experiencing living in places where collectivism is the norm ❖Who carry a home away from home, such as expats, digital nomads, and immigrants ❖Who seek a holistic form of healing that takes into account their personal needs as well as the larger, interconnected nature of their existence
All identities and experiences are welcome here!

Approach
I offer a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where we can explore the patterns, beliefs, and stories that shape how you think, feel, and relate; we reconnect with the body and nervous system as sources of information, regulation, and safety; and we make space for your deeper sense of authenticity, meaning, and connection to emerge. Together, this work supports healing that is not only understood intellectually, but felt, embodied, and lived.
To support this process, my work is grounded in counseling and therapeutic approaches that foster self-exploration, nervous system regulation, and emotional healing. I primarily work through Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic experiencing, relational, and attachment-based lenses. In addition, I also integrate coaching tools to help translate insight into everyday life actions.
These modalities allow me to ground my work on my values: ❖Inclusive & Culturally-attuned: I welcome you as you are, with all your experiences and all the parts and identities you carry. All parts are welcome. ❖ Non-hierarchical: You are the expert of your life, and I am a fellow traveler supporting you as you reunite with your inner, cultural, and ancestral wisdom. ❖Holistic: I see you as an ecosystem of mind, body, and soul. My support explores the relationships between these parts rather than addressing them in isolation. ❖Socially-Attuned: I acknowledge that many of our struggles are influenced by systemic injustices and oppressive social structures. My work supports you in navigating these challenges with resilience and clarity.
Sessions are online or in Rotterdam.
