I am a PhD student in health psychology from Karaj University. I completed my PhD thesis on the effects of childhood trauma on self-cohesion and its role in the formation of cardiovascular diseases in adulthood at Shahid Rajaee Heart Hospital in Tehran.

I began my training in analytical psychotherapy in 2015 at the Tehran Institute of Psychoanalysis, and have continued my therapy sessions to this day, along with training, supervision, and consultation. Since the beginning of my psychoanalytic training, I have completed various short-term training courses at Roozbeh Hospital and Shahid Beheshti University, and later joined the Tehran Center for Psychoanalytic Studies and have had my ongoing and continuous training at this center. I also started a long-term course on Freud’s fundamental concepts at the Siavushan Center with Dr. Hossein Mojtahedi in late 2021.

In 2020, I joined the two-year training course in group analytic therapy at the Stockholm Group Analytical Institute, Sweden, and while receiving supervision, I also experienced participating in group therapy as a client. After graduating from this course, I was invited to work as a group therapy instructor at the Swedish Institute and worked with them as an instructor for a year.

Entering the realm of education and research in my field of expertise has always been one of my interests. In this regard, in addition to teaching specialized psychology courses at the university since 2014, I have held numerous workshops and specialized courses for various psychology and psychoanalysis centers. I also have the responsibility of planning and implementing various research projects, publishing and presenting specialized articles at various congresses, and translating specialized books.

Three articles presented at psychoanalytic symposia. As long as I am here, this pain will not subside: From unpleasant childhood experiences to the fragility of the self. Symposium Beyond the Pleasure Principle. Sitting behind a virtual window towards the group: ethical issues in online analytic group therapy. Symposium on ethics in psychoanalysis. There is no place to stay here anymore; perhaps somewhere else: migration in the current political and socio-economic conditions of Iran. I am currently engaged in individual and group analytic psychotherapy, as well as teaching and research in the field of psychoanalysis and related fields.
