Hi there, I'm Shirin!

My therapeutic approach is rooted in compassion and collaboration, with a strong focus on helping individuals navigate complex emotions, trauma, and mental health challenges. I specialize in working with clients dealing with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and relational conflicts, creating a safe space to promote healing and growth.

My focus

I typically work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma-related issues. I also have expertise in substance use recovery and helping individuals facing significant life transitions. My clients often include individuals seeking a deeper understanding of their emotional patterns and those working through challenges.

My approach

I utilize an integrative approach to therapy, combining evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and trauma-informed care. My work is influenced by depth psychology and mindfulness techniques, allowing clients to explore the underlying causes of their struggles while developing practical tools for day-to-day coping.
