Ani is a licensed therapist, founder, and clinical director with nearly two decades of experience helping adults, couples, and families work through trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, codependency, and longstanding emotional patterns. She specializes in trauma therapy, attachment-focused work, and evidence-based care that helps clients move beyond survival mode, strengthen emotional resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Her style is warm, gently challenging, and insight-oriented, grounded in both clinical expertise and genuine human connection. Ani creates a supportive space while also helping clients look more deeply at patterns, beliefs, and relationship dynamics that may be holding them back.
Ani works especially well with clients who feel caught in painful emotional patterns, overwhelmed by unresolved trauma, or in relationships that no longer feel secure, connected, or sustainable. She helps clients better understand what is driving these patterns while creating practical pathways toward greater stability, connection, and self-trust.
Ani integrates EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed, attachment-focused therapy. Her work helps clients process painful experiences, strengthen emotional regulation, understand recurring relationship patterns, and develop a more secure and grounded sense of self.
As founder and clinical director of Aspire Counseling Group, Ani also helps guide the broader clinical work of the practice. She supports shared standards of care, ongoing clinical consultation, therapist development, and Aspire’s therapist-matching process so clients can be thoughtfully connected with a clinician whose experience, approach, personality, language, schedule, and clinical strengths fit what they are looking for.
Clients often experience Ani as insightful, compassionate, direct, and highly engaged. Her approach balances depth and emotional exploration with clarity and practical support, helping clients not only understand themselves more fully but also make meaningful changes in their daily lives and relationships.
Outside of work, Ani enjoys baking, painting, and training her puppy, Chloe, which help her recharge and feel more centered.
