I am a compassionate mental health counselor with a Ph.D. in Couples and Family Therapy from Antioch University. I am passionate about supporting children, adolescents and young adults as they navigate daily life challenges, including but not limited to ADHD, anxiety, depression, and relational issues. As a therapist, I am committed to guiding clients toward greater self-awareness and self-mastery, empowering them to move through life with intention, resilience, and a deeper sense of purpose. My goal is to help clients gain clarity and uncover their strengths to move consciously toward the meaningful changes they wish to create. My approach is empathic, supportive and collaborative, aiming to guide clients towards the path that resonates and is authentic for them. I utilize an integrative style drawing from evidence-based practices such as Person-Centered Therapy, CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and relational approaches. This style allows me to meet clients where they are, while also holding space for them to explore the patterns, narratives, and beliefs that influence their growth and personal development. As a first-generation American raised in a multicultural family, I bring a unique appreciation for the ways culture and identity shape our experiences. These experiences shape my commitment to providing a supportive, inclusive environment where every client feels seen, understood, and valued. I am bilingual in English and Farsi and have experience working with immigrants and first-generation individuals as they navigate cultural adjustment, identity, intergenerational family dynamics, and belonging. Above all, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions, learn skills and strategies that will ultimately uncover strengths as well as develop resilience. I believe seeking support is a courageous step, and I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward wellness and growth.

In pursuit of his clients' goals in therapy, Frank understands that there is no "one-size-fit-all" in therapy. He diversifies his approach according to the life situation of his clients. He utilizes cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), DBT, mindfulness, IFS, positive psychology, person-centered, motivational and solution focus therapy in his work with clients. Since Frank understands that everyone carries a "life-backpack" of personal history and experiences, he believes it's possible to find triggers for current situations within both the individual's past and present. Therefore, he deeply explores these aspects using psychoanalysis and CBT to find solutions to present situations. Frank believes that people are the actors in their lives' movies; therefore, he uses person-centered philosophy of positive regard in the journey toward therapeutic goals. Lastly, due to Frank's exposure to multicultural settings, he creates a culturally sensitive environment that enables his clients to freely express themselves.

Parenting can be challenging. Every parent wants the best for their child, but mistakes happen. Is your teenager feeling off or withdrawn? I have spent my career helping young people deal with depression, anxiety, tough experiences, and issues related to being adopted from foster care. I also support those with behavioral and school-related problems like peer relationships and social skills. I enjoy working with teens to help them express themselves, manage their anger, and make good friends. I also help parents understand their children and build a stronger relationship. In our sessions, I help clients explore the reasons behind their feelings. As a former teacher, I know that one approach doesn't work for everyone. That's why I use different methods, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, to help your child succeed. After therapy, clients can manage their emotions better and reduce unhealthy behaviors. Your child will leave therapy feeling empowered and capable of handling daily challenges. I understand that taking the first step can be tough. I am here to support you every step of the way.
