Hi there, I'm Elham!

If life has been feeling heavy or uncertain, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I support clients facing anxiety, self-doubt, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. In a warm, nonjudgmental space, we’ll deepen insight and create meaningful change so you can feel more grounded, confident, and connected.

My focus

I work best with young and middle-aged adults, especially first- and second-generation immigrants navigating questions of identity, belonging, self-esteem, and family expectations. Many of my clients are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self esteem, life transitions, or challenges related to career shifts and intergenerati

My approach

My therapeutic approach draws from evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, attachment theory, psychodynamic principles, and strength-based practices. Together, we’ll focus on building self-compassion while working through the areas that feel stuck or painful.
