Meet Parvin

As a therapist, I consider it a great privilege to be part of someone's healing, to be alongside some of people's most difficult moments, and create a space where they are free to be wholly human. I provide trauma-informed, strength-based, culturally competent, and social justice oriented therapy. I believe the personal is political, and therefore, believe that therapy is inherently political. I have more than five years of licensed experience working in schools and private practice settings, and have worked with both individuals and couples, although I am only working with individuals at this time. I have a down-to-earth and warm style in sessions, but challenge clients when needed.

I provide trauma-informed, strength-based, culturally competent, and therapy through a social justice framework.
