About me and how I work
We agree on what you want to work on. Schema Therapy is my main approach. Depending on what brings you in, we might talk through a difficult experience, make sense of feelings that are hard to manage, or try a practical step between sessions.
- Registered in Ontario and British Columbia. I provide receipts you can submit to extended health plans.
- Sessions in English or Farsi, informed by my own experience of immigration and life across two cultures.
- Clinical work with adults and couples since 2015, alongside academic research on close relationships.
What is Schema Therapy?
Jeffrey Young developed Schema Therapy in the 1990s. It brings together structured tools from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and ways of working with emotions, early experiences and relationships.
We might look closely at a recent situation and what you felt, needed or did. When it helps, we explore how earlier experiences or familiar patterns affect what’s happening now. We may also practise a different way of responding and see how it works in daily life.
Like CBT, it can involve clear goals and practical exercises. It also makes room for work with emotions and patterns shaped by earlier experiences. It shares with psychoanalytic approaches an interest in how the past shows up in the present, while often using more explicit goals and guided exercises.
