What do you love most about your job?
When I see my clients go through personal transformations that help them better their lives, there is no other joy like that.
I personally have gone through and am still going through that transformation, and I deeply understand what it means for my clients to experience it personally.
What inspired you to start your own business?
For years, I was working on building a better version of myself by reading from, watching, and listening to people who had something to teach me about self improvement. In doing so, I mostly relied on my intellect without engaging, and even suppressing, my emotions. I lived as though they are polar opposite of each other. This approach took me very far in my personal, educational, and career life. But there was a limit to it!
I recognized these limitations when unpleasant life events challenged my comfort and confidence in my approach to self-improvement. I realized that I don't know myself enough. This doubt in my approach and my desire to understand myself was so great that I decided to talk to a psychologist, because my old approach did not yield useful answers. Through a long process of self-analysis, I earned a deeper understanding of myself and what’s the difference between advancing myself and discovering myself.
Managing this internal conflict helped me in my lifelong quest to realize my passion by using psychology to help those who are motivated to grow as a person. Although it is possible to take on this journey alone, having a person on your side who has the necessary skills and knowledge and has been through a similar journey (not the same, because everyone has a unique path), makes progress easier, faster, and burdens bearable when the path gets rough.
To ground my passion in science, I started learning about human psychology in a more serious and structured way by reading academic textbook in psychology. This new knowledge motivated me to seek practical training with two of the best psychologists in Iran, Dr. Parvizian, to earn my certificate in schema therapy and Dr. Poursalehi, to earn my certificate in cognitive behavioral therapy.

Toxic Free Relationship
The Toxic Free Relationship Program is designed for those who are serious about building healthy romantic relationships that are strong, safe, intimate, and fulfilling.
If
- You usually go from one wrong partner to the next.
- You are not fulfilled in your relationship.
- You argue all the time with your partner.
- You lack intimacy in your relationship.
- You’re in an abusive relationship.
- You can’t trust your partner.
Deep in your heart, you know you deserve a better relationship, and you’re desperately and righteously looking for a solution.
If you have tried consulting with friends and families, self-help books, training, relationship coaching, and therapy and have not succeeded to reach your relationship goals and you are tired of trying various methods that do not work, you are in the right place.
Throughout this program, you will gain a deeper understanding of the problem, understand the invasive, repetitive, and destructive behavioral and relationship patterns, and then learn and apply healthy solutions in your relationship.
This program consists of one-on-one sessions and is broken down into three phases:
- A deeper dive into the nature of the problem
- A deeper dive into understanding the destructive patterns and their manifestation in your relationship, both cognitively and emotionally
- Developing healthy alternative behaviors to replace the destructive patterns
