Meet the Therapist

Hello! My name is Shohreh (pronounced “Shore-A”).  My professional experience includes working with anxiety, trauma, somatized mental health concerns, boundary issues, self-esteem issues and perfectionism. My approach utilizes Somatic Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, trauma therapy, holistic approaches, mindfulness and attachment therapy.    Outside of my professional work, I am a mother, I love to garden and find that I feel grounded in nature amongst trees.  I look forward to meeting you and working together!  

Therapy Services & Approaches

I offer online therapy for clients across California, providing support through a range of modalities tailored to your individual experience:

• Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy — A compassionate, parts‑based approach.

• Trauma‑Informed Therapy — Understanding nervous system responses and safety.

• Somatic Psychotherapy — Exploring the mind‑body connection to deepen insight.

• Mindfulness‑Based Therapy — Cultivating presence, regulation, and awareness.

My work prioritizes a collaborative, respectful therapeutic relationship, helping you build insight and resources that support your personal goals.

What I Can Support You With

I support individuals who are navigating:

• Anxiety and chronic stress

• Work stress and burnout

• Life transitions including career, relationships, and identity shifts

• Motherhood and caregiving challenges

• Trauma and somatic symptoms

I draw from a variety of clinical trainings and therapeutic perspectives to meet you where you are and help you explore what matters most in your life and healing.

Why This Approach Matters

I believe that each person brings their own cultural, relational, and somatic wisdom to the therapeutic process. By honoring both emotional experience and physical sensation, therapy can offer a deeper understanding of how your nervous system responds to stress and meaningfully supports your well‑being. Whether you are struggling with emotional overwhelm, transitions, or working through patterns that no longer serve you, I aim to create a holistic supportive space to explore and reflect.
