I am an international psychiatrist and existentialist primarily trained at McGill University, certified by the Royal College of Physicians of Canada and the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, and registered to practice in Canada (QC, NU), the United States (DC, MD, VA), and the United Kingdom (GMC).

My academic journey began with a Doctor of Medicine degree at Tehran University, followed by a Master of Science in Psychiatry Research and a Psychiatry Residency at McGill University. As a visiting scholar, I have contributed to Global Mental Health initiatives at the World Health Organization in Geneva, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and King’s College London—the Maudsley Hospital. I completed my academic training with a clinical postdoctoral fellowship in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University.

My expertise extends beyond the pharmacological treatment of psychiatric conditions. I have received training in various psychotherapy modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Jungian Analysis. In my practice, I integrate these approaches within an eclectic existential framework, offering Dynamic Eclectic Existential Psycho-pharmacotherapy (DEEP) that draws on the most effective elements of each method.

My clinical and research interests include mood, anxiety, and trauma-related conditions, existentialism, student mental health, and global mental health with a focus on human rights, abuse of psychiatry, and recovery.
