Hi there, I'm Nastaran!

Life can feel overwhelming and you may feel stuck in unwanted patterns. By looking into the mind-body connection, we can unravel the cues the body is giving you during times of distress. Together, we will explore the mind-body connection and what leads to Depression, Anxiety, and Trauma. I am a Licensed Psychologist hoping to help guide you on your journey towards authenticity, feeling connected, and regulated.

My approach

My work entails cognitive, holistic, trauma-informed, and somatic approaches. Often, there may be inner child or psychodynamic interventions used. Together, we explore the mind-body connection and help you discover your inner capacity for healing.

My focus

My specialty is working with clients who are ready to explore Trauma, Anxiety, Chronic Illness, and Depression.

My communication style

In session, the environment is nonjudgmental, safe, and a warm atmosphere to explore your emotions. Together, we build on our rapport and create a space for you to be validated.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been interested in how people feel and think. From an early age, I was entuned with emotions. I am a firm believer in expressing all emotions and not holding on to unwanted feelings and harboring negativity. I am driven by seeing my clients understand themselves and become their authentic selves. I look forward to being on this journey with you!

My goals for you

Goal setting is initiated during the intake session. Goals may ebb and flow throughout the process of therapy and that is expected. Together, we will explore realistic goals and outcomes for therapy.

My first session with you

The first session may feel scary for some, but I am glad you are taking the first step into investing in yourself. During our first meeting, you can expect to share your history and what brings you into therapy. We will explore your treatment, discuss the process of therapy, address future sessions, and answer any questions you may have.
