I am passionate about creating a safe, welcoming, and supportive space where individuals and families can feel heard, respected, and understood. As a human services professional and graduate student pursuing a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I am committed to helping children, adolescents, adults, and families move through life’s challenges with greater confidence and hope.

My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, cultural humility, and compassion, supporting clients navigating trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, and life transitions. With young people, I focus on building healthy coping skills and resilience; with families, the goal is to foster deeper connection and communication.

A defining part of my journey comes from my extensive experience as a Combat Linguist and Cultural Advisor working alongside the U.S. Military, Department of State, and federal agencies in high-stakes environments. This background shaped my deep respect for those navigating service-related stress, trauma, or displacement. Fluent in English, Dari, Persian, and Pashtu, I provide culturally responsive care tailored to veterans, first responders, and anyone seeking a counselor who values both strength and vulnerability.

My counseling style is warm, practical, and collaborative, drawing from evidence-based approaches like NT, CBT, and SFBT. My background as a Strategic Mindset Coach, Master Personal Trainer, 5th Degree Black Belt Master, BJJ practitioner, and triathlete reflects my core belief that growth happens through patience, discipline, and courage.

Above all, my goal is to walk alongside each person with compassion and honesty so they never have to face their struggles alone. Outside of my professional and academic pursuits, I recharge by spending quality time with my wife, son, and dogs.

Dedicated to creating meaningful children's literature and heartfelt personal narratives, our author brings a passion for growth, connection, and storytelling to Inner Shift Harmony. Through carefully crafted books, the goal is to inspire young readers and adults alike to embrace resilience, find joy in everyday moments, and navigate their unique journeys with confidence.
