About me

Born in Canada with a Persian-Polish background, I moved around quite often from a young age, jumping from Canada, the USA, Poland, the UAE, and Spain, finally settling in Warsaw, Poland.

I understand the potential challenges of navigating multiple cultures, being uprooted, and questioning a sense of identity and belonging. Between social expectations, communities, and building your own identity among sometimes conflicting factors, I believe we all have the ability to find self-acceptance and peace within ourselves, as well as finding the opportunity for growth.

In 2020, I graduated as a Clinical Psychologist at the University of Warsaw, with my specialization being in neuropsychology. I continuously attend workshops, courses, and continued education programs to deepen my knowledge about relevant issues and updated interventions.

Apart from navigating our external and social world, I also support individuals with psychedelic integration from past (both positive and negative) experiences they may have had. Additionally, I provide a safe space to those who feel like they may struggle with substance addiction.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
ACT: Acceptance and Commitment TherapyRecommended for those who want to stop fighting negative thoughts and learn how to live with more acceptance and focus on what really matters in life.
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Psychedelic integration therapyRecommended for those who have had psychedelic experiences and want help understanding and integrating the insights into their everyday life for personal growth and self-discovery.
In my psychological sessions, I draw from a combination of evidence-based therapies, including solution-focused therapy, ACT, and some elements of CBT. I customize my approach to suit the specific needs and goals of each individual. Through our collaboration, I aim to help you cultivate greater self-awareness, build resilience, and create a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
