Jungian depth Bicultural identity Adults Grief & loss Neurodivergent affirming Creatives
Lillian's therapeutic style is relational and psychodynamically rooted, with a particular affinity for Jungian practice as a living way of exploring the hidden patterns, images, and stories that quietly guide how we live and love. She is especially interested in what happens between two people in the room, and brings warmth, directness, and real curiosity to the here-and-now of the therapeutic relationship.

Lillian's therapeutic style is relational and psychodynamically rooted, with a particular affinity for Jungian practice as a living way of exploring the hidden patterns, images, and stories that quietly guide how we live and love. She is especially interested in what happens between two people in the room, and brings warmth, directness, and real curiosity to the here-and-now of the therapeutic relationship.
As a child of Iranian immigrants, Lillian understands firsthand the weight of carrying multiple identities at once, and has a deep commitment to working with first-generation Americans and those navigating bicultural identity. Before training as a therapist, she spent over a decade working with individuals with autism and their families, and is also a yoga teacher, mindfulness practitioner, certified death doula, and singer-songwriter — all of which inform a clinical presence that is embodied, creative, and comfortable with the strange and mysterious.
Lillian works with adults navigating a wide range of experiences. She has particular depth in:
-
Bicultural identity & adult children of immigrants — As a child of Iranian immigrants, Lillian understands firsthand the weight of carrying multiple worlds at once. She offers a space to explore the tension between cultural inheritance and personal freedom, and the often-unspoken grief that comes with it.
-
Neurodivergent individuals & families — With over a decade supporting individuals with autism and their families, Lillian brings deep experience and genuine affirmation to neurodivergent clients and those who love them.
-
Creatives & creative block — When creative energy stalls, it carries meaning. Lillian works with clients to tune into the unconscious messages behind the block and restore trust in self-expression.
-
Grief & loss — As a certified death doula, Lillian brings particular attunement to loss in all its forms: people, relationships, dreams, identities.
-
Identity & self-exploration — Lillian works with clients to reclaim a more expansive and authentic sense of self.
As a child of Iranian immigrants, I understand the challenges of navigating the intersection of culture and identity. Also an artist and intuitive, I’m deeply passionate about collaboration, self-exploration, and celebrating the unique complexity that makes you, you.
I work holistically and intuitively, blending evidence-based therapy with creative, embodied modalities. I’m also a certified yoga instructor and mindfulness practitioner with a background in supporting children with developmental disabilities and their families for over a decade.
Healing is a personal and creative act. I see myself not just as your therapist, but a fellow traveler on your path to rediscovering your purpose, vitality, and wholeness.

How Lillian works
The therapy relationship becomes a living, breathing container for real-time exploration. Together, you’ll examine patterns, emotions, and behaviors with compassion and courage. Lillian draws from a variety of therapeutic frameworks—Jungian, existential, psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems (IFS), narrative, and more—and integrates mindfulness, creative expression, and somatic awareness to support your whole self.
How she thinks about therapy
Therapy with Lillian is a collaborative, insight-oriented process grounded in the belief that your inner wisdom holds the key to healing. She sees therapy as a sacred space—one where you’re invited to slow down, get curious, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been overlooked or silenced.

Many of us feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve us, longing for healing and transformation to reconnect with our most authentic self. Through a depth-oriented approach, I guide you in exploring the unconscious dynamics at play in your life. By bringing these patterns into awareness, we can create meaningful changes that reflect who you truly are.
I work with adults, teens, and couples, offering a supportive space for collaboration and growth. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, I’m here to help you work through these challenges with compassion and a personalized approach. As an LGBTQ+ affirmative therapist, I offer an inclusive space where your unique identity is respected and valued. My goal is to help you explore new perspectives, heal from past wounds, and cultivate a life that feels more connected and aligned with who you truly are.
