Well Read Sistas is bringing our Sistahood to Octavia’s Bookshelf — a beloved Black woman–owned bookstore in Pasadena that honors the legacy of Octavia E. Butler and embodies everything we stand for: community, creativity, and connection through Black women’s stories.
💡 Why This Matters:
Across the country, independent Black bookstores are fighting to keep their doors open. These spaces aren’t just shops—they’re sanctuaries for our stories and safe havens for our voices. Through our new Well Read Sistas Bookstore Initiative, we’re partnering with bookstores like Octavia’s Bookshelf to host monthly book club chats that drive visibility, community, and sales—while keeping the pages of Black women’s literature turning.

I provide neuropsychological evaluations (testing) to adults with cognitive concerns, such as difficulty with memory, attention, multitasking, "slowing down," or changes in language or personality. I investigate neurological and/or psychiatric factors that may contribute to someone's condition. These evaluations allow for more precise diagnoses and prognoses (what to expect in the future). I provide services in English or Persian (Farsi), and I am well-experienced in working with professional translators for assessment in other languages (for example, Spanish or Cantonese).
Neuropsychological evaluations most often help guide the course of treatments. With the patient's consent, I provide documentation and consultation with their regular doctors - such as neurologists, primary care and mental health providers - to discuss potential medication changes, talk therapies, surgical options, self-care strategies, and more.
I find that most important is the patient's understanding of their health - both strengths and weaknesses. After the evaluation, I set time to meet with patients and sometimes their loved ones to provide the information they need to best manage their health. With a culturally appropriate approach, I invite diverse clients to contact me for more information.
