The Parasitic Relationship Between a Narcissist and an Empath
Understanding the dynamic between a narcissist and an empath and why such a relationship exists is the first step in freeing yourself from this parasitic dynamic.

About Me
As an experienced clinical psychologist, I offer a relatable and empathic space for adults, teenagers, and couples. My aim is to help you explore challenges openly, fostering deeper understanding and personal growth. We work together to make sense of difficult experiences, finding practical ways forward. Patients appreciate the grounded, supportive environment where they can build resilience and strengthen their relationships.
Approach
You’ll find an empathic, down-to-earth space that quietly prioritizes how change unfolds in everyday life. I work with clients in Los Angeles and online, offering sessions in English and Farsi so we can pace work around your life and cultural context. Sessions blend careful listening, focused assessment when helpful, and practical experiments between meetings—small steps that test new patterns in relationships, mood, or anxiety. People who want steady, collaborative work that links insight to real-world choices tend to find this approach useful.
