About Me

This psychiatrist supports adults navigating a broad spectrum of mental health conditions. They provide tailored treatment for depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, alongside care for sleep issues, migraine, and bipolar disorder. Comprehensive support also extends to schizophrenia, aggression, and psychosomatic problems like irritable bowel syndrome. Patients benefit from careful medication management, helping them achieve stability and improved daily function. This practice suits individuals seeking clear, evidence-based pathways to well-being.

Approach

When someone arrives feeling overwhelmed by persistent symptoms I begin with focused assessment and a shared formulation that guides clear, practical steps. Sessions in Tehran or online, offered in English or Farsi, move at a steady, collaborative pace—combining short-term strategies, medication review when indicated, and gradual behavioural experiments between meetings. I track sleep, routines and stressors closely, adjusting the plan with measurable targets and simple homework. This approach suits people seeking pragmatic, evidence-informed support to regain daily functioning.
