About Me

 

I’m a queer Muslim(-ish) femme and settler of colour with ancestral roots in Iran. My journey to healing-oriented work began over ten years ago with feminist, community-based organizing. Those years were the beginnings of language-ing my own grief, my own rage, and my own joy. It was through the communities I walked within, and the powerful writings of feminist and critical race theorists that I arrived here, to therapy.

 

My therapeutic work is politicized, embodied, slow, and creative. To learn more about my approach, click here.

Each session is 50 minutes long, with some exceptions made to couples therapy sessions. Session fees range from $130 - 150 for individual therapy, and $150 - 175 for couples therapy, depending on access to financial resources.
