“Ufyemi,” the name of my practice, holds two meanings in the ancient language of Iran, my ancestral tongue: to weave and to sing. I believe that through creative and emotional expression, therapy can help us weave our experiences into a cohesive narrative that fosters authentic wellness and wholeness.

Since 2016, I have been practicing as a mental health clinician. I earned my BA in Social Welfare at UC Berkeley and my Master’s in Social Work from USC. My training included working with children, adolescents, and adults in community mental health settings, offering both individual and group therapy. As a mother and trained doula, I have a particular passion for supporting birthing people, mothers, and parents who are navigating the profound shifts, joys, and challenges of parenthood.

I approach therapy as both a political act and a sacred practice—a cozy, supportive space for ritual, healing, and self-love. It’s a place to tend to wounds, reconnect with the body, honor ancestral wisdom, and rediscover your innate magic.

The traditions that inspire and inform my work include:

• Herbalism and flower essences

• Indigenous and spiritual frameworks

• Vocal toning and sound healing

• Somatic practices

• Astrology and mysticism

• Mindfulness

I am trained in Somatic and Attachment-Focused Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (S.A.F.E. EMDR), an evidence-based trauma-healing modality that effectively addresses chronic, complex, and acute trauma. I also integrate parts work, spiritual exploration, artistic expression, and somatic-centered practices into my therapeutic approach.

It is my deepest desire to help clients move beyond self-defeating narratives and alleviate distress, while reclaiming their joy, passion, connection, and inherent worthiness. My goal is to support the development of healthy, meaningful relationships—with yourself, with others, and with the world around you—so that together, we can heal both personally and collectively.
