About Lillian

I believe that unresolved attachment issues, if left unaddressed, tend to surface in adult relationships, mirroring early relational traumas. This cycle perpetuates until an empathetic therapist provides a nurturing space for healing, which is essential for the individual’s progress and for preventing the transmission of these patterns to future generations.

I bring a relational perspective to clients of all ages and presentations. My approach is grounded in the understanding that healing is inherently relational, and I strive to foster increased understanding and connection among family members and partners, reinforcing the foundation for relational healing.

My passion for supporting individuals across all ages, gender identities, and walks of life is at the core of my practice. I embrace a collaborative approach, integrating various therapeutic techniques to meet the unique needs of each person, family, and couple I work with. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and adjacent, sex-positive, poly informed, and kink aware.

My background in Clinical Psychology and Philosophy uniquely equips me to address existential concerns and the profound anxieties that accompany modern life, offering therapy as a powerful tool for navigating these challenges.

I offer therapy services in both English and Farsi, catering to clients in person in San Jose or remotely through video sessions.
