As a San Diego native and a first-generation American, I am particularly attuned to the unique challenges that arise when balancing mental health with navigating diverse cultural backgrounds. My fluency in Farsi enables me to connect with and provide compassionate, culturally sensitive care to a broad range of patients. I believe that strong collaboration between patients and providers is vital for effective, evidence-based treatment. In my spare time, I enjoy practicing yoga and meditation, and I value the power of positive thinking in fostering a safe and supportive environment for healing. 
My Clients
I am a licensed and board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I earned my Doctorate in Nursing Practice from the University of San Diego. My approach to patient care is holistic and person-centered, focusing on ensuring that my patients feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout their journey toward mental wellness. I specialize in the treatment of various mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, psychosis, and other psychiatric diagnoses.
