I am a compassionate psychotherapist dedicated to guiding individuals (ages 16+) through the process of transformation to achieve their "Best Self." With a clinical foundation in evidence-based practices, I specialize in providing high-fidelity care and clinical leadership. I am licensed to practice and provide clinical supervision for licensure in both Missouri and California.
Beyond my private practice, Best Self Counseling, LCSW, Inc., I have served as an Adjunct Professor at Webster University and provide clinical supervision to social workers seeking licensure. I am also proficient in Farsi.
I believe in maintaining a healthy work-life balance to show up fully for my clients, which I find through exercise and quality time with my friends and family.
