I am a licensed therapist who has been working in the field since 2014 with diverse individuals in different settings. I attended California State Polytechnic University for my Bachelors Degree in Psychology and the University of Southern California for my Masters in Social Work. I specialize in working with individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, women's issues and grief and loss issues. On a personal note, I love to hike, cook and watch movies.

You can know exactly where something comes from and still feel completely stuck in it. That's often where the real work begins. I work with adults and seniors navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship patterns, eating disorders, and the weight of holding multiple cultural worlds at once. I offer sessions in both English and Farsi. I was born in Tehran and came to the United States as a child. That journey shapes how I show up for clients who are holding two worlds at once. Clients often describe me as thoughtful, unhurried, and genuinely curious about who they are.

Sometimes you don’t need someone to simply ask, “And how does that make you feel?” You need a therapist who can listen, understand the bigger picture, help you connect the dots, and work with you on what to actually do next.

That’s the kind of space I strive to provide.

I work with adults who may look like they’re holding everything together while privately feeling overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, angry, disconnected, grieving, or simply tired of carrying so much. Some of my clients come to therapy because of a specific crisis or life transition. Others arrive saying, “I don’t even know where to start—I just know something needs to change.” Both are perfectly valid places to begin.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My clinical background includes supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and eating disorders. I also have experience incorporating play therapy when working with children and developmentally appropriate interventions for adolescents.

I believe therapy should be individualized rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. I begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand your experiences, concerns, strengths, relationships, and goals for treatment. From there, we work collaboratively to develop a treatment plan that feels meaningful and realistic for you.

My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative while also providing structure and guidance when needed. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed interventions, and other therapeutic modalities based on your individual needs. Whether you are working through past experiences, navigating current challenges, strengthening relationships, or simply wanting to better understand yourself, my goal is to create a safe and welcoming space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life.

I am a clinical psychologist with over 3 decades of experience treating a wide array of populations and presenting issues. My practice today consists of adults and couples. I choose my treatment approach for each client based on their needs and expectations. In addition to my clinical practice, I am a Master Lecturer at the University of Southern California in the Marriage and Family Therapy program.

Life can throw a new challenge that we need help from a third perspective. That is why I like helping people to empower themselves with what's needed in order to fill the gap and reduce barriers to next level of success in their treatment goal(s)! Often than not, our environmental or relational dynamic in life is the most difficult matters to change or resolve. My clinical work focus on the important subjects that often trigger and precipitate mood symptoms from those relational and environmental disruptions in life.

My communication style is direct - meaning using open-communication and empowerment to the core issues or reason that you are facing the obstacles in life to help you stabilize your life and mental health as prompt manner as possible. I also practice open-communication style by allowing people to ask questions when you have a question about the therapy process or me as your therapist. I will try to answer the best way I can with respect to healthy therapeutic boundary as applicable.

Hi, I'm Tony and my therapy practice is a space of hope, clarity, and limitless compassion. I'm an LMFT with 2 years of experience in private practice, 7 years as a psychotherapist, 11 years providing group support, 15 years as a case manager, and 20 years as a sociologist and community activist. I combine a wide range of impactful psychosocial and somatic approaches to support your freedom, safety, and boundless growth... with ACT, EFT, and Somatic Abolition as my grounding.

Most importantly, my work honors the weight you’ve had to hold during these painful times, and the care you’ve given while also sometimes struggling. Maybe it's been harder to cope lately and you're feeling lost. Maybe you're overburdened, or even totally depleted. Together, we can journey to a new place of relief, discovery, and steadiness. My work is about reconnection, growth, and finally feeling truly supported. You've deserved real care all along. I know it.
