Quote

“If you want to become whole, let yourself be partial. If you want to become straight, let yourself be crooked. If you want to become full, let yourself be empty. If you want to be reborn, let yourself die. If you want to be given everything, give everything up.” ― Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

Important about me

I earned a Bachelor of Clinical Psychology at Azad University in Roudehan, Iran, and an MS in Applied Developmental Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh. Currently, I am pursuing an MSW degree at Pitt. I am also certified in Infant Mental Health and have an Early Childhood Mental Health Endorsement. I am on the Board of Directors at Postpartum Pittsburgh. My credentials in Supporting Early Social and Emotional Development, Circle of Security Parenting Facilitator Training Certification, and Promoting First Relationships Certification have given me a strong theoretical base and solid practice perspective. I currently work as an Early Childhood Liaison for the Alliance for Infants and Toddlers, which allows me to support parents and caregivers as they support their children. I also provide trauma-informed services to families and assess at-risk children’s developmental milestones and emotional well-being.
