If you're reading this, you or someone you know is struggling in some aspect of life. I won't take a guess as to what; our lives can be complex and multifaceted that simply calling it grief or anxiety somehow doesn't capture the essence of what you're feeling. These labels are a good place to start, however, and if you find yourself in the midst of something like grief, anxiety, depression, or confusion about your life and your emotional state, then speaking to a therapist can help.
I'm a holistic psychotherapist, meaning I look at the whole person when I speak with them. I'm interested and curious about your life, your strengths, your dreams, your fears and insecurities. It's within both or shadow parts and our conscious parts that we can come to a fuller understanding of where we are in life and where it is we want to go. Underscoring all my work is a commitment and undertaking to help you be more self-compassionate.
Feel free to email or call me for a free 20-minute consultation call. May you safe, may you be happy, and may you live with ease.
About Soroosh
I approached the work of psychotherapy because I find joy in supporting others in finding their own inner wellspring of strength, intuitive knowledge, and wisdom. Countless times my clients have spontaneously come to profound and meaningful insights about their lives, all because they allowed themselves to take the opportunity to express themselves openly. My job is to create the space where people can step into their selves, their authentic sense of self-expression. I do this by creating a non-judgemental and spacious atmosphere for us both to step into the wonder, mystery, and hardship of life.
Outside of psychotherapy, I enjoy playing my guitar, being in nature, and exploring all the ways I can move by body--be it through yoga, ecstatic dance, or mindfully walking in nature.
