Meet Farinaz

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience in mental health, ready to assist you with issues related to addiction, trauma, family issues, stress, grief, loss, PTSD, women's issues, and relationship challenges. I approach treatment through a humanistic, client-centered lens. I specialize in Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Through treatment, we will work together on developing mutual goals that can be addressed during and outside of our sessions.

I approach treatment through a humanistic approach which is client-centered.
