I am a cisgendered male Iranian-American clinical psychologist and mental health philanthropist known for bridging depth psychology with cutting-edge, integrative approaches. My work blends relational, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and psychedelic-assisted therapies with harm reduction practices and transpersonal exploration.

Beyond the therapy room, I design educational and experiential workshops that bring psychology into the community—supporting caregivers, elders, and those navigating trauma. I also collaborate with artists and musicians to create immersive, art-based therapeutic events that open space for collective healing and self-discovery.

As a BIPOC-inspired clinician, I founded Therapy 4 Iran, a nonprofit offering free counseling to underserved Farsi-speaking communities worldwide, and created a bilingual relaxation program that has reached global audiences. My path began in psychiatric hospitals and college health centers, but my calling is rooted in post-revolution Iran, where early experiences with loss and resilience shaped my belief in the power of community healing.

Trained at UCLA, CIIS, MAPS, Alchemy and the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, I bring compassion, neuroscience, creativity, and cultural sensitivity to my practice. I see healing as a ripple effect—nurtured in safe relationships and community.

Witnessing clients transform their lives is indeed for me the deepest joy, and in my heart, I believe it is through such transformations that we can heal our world. For my own self-care I immerse myself in yoga, music, singing, and nature! Lots of it!

I am honored to do this work.
