Ani is a licensed therapist and clinical director with nearly two decades of experience helping teens, adults, and couples work through trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, and codependency. 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. As the founder and clinical director of Aspire Counseling Group, Ani brings both deep clinical experience and a thoughtful, science-informed approach to her work.
Her style is warm, deeply attuned, and grounded in both clinical expertise and genuine human connection, creating a space where clients can feel supported while also doing real, transformative work. Ani is especially skilled at helping clients who feel stuck in painful emotional patterns, overwhelmed by unresolved trauma, or caught in relationships that no longer feel secure, connected, or sustainable.
Ani integrates EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed, attachment-focused therapy to help clients process painful experiences, better understand their emotional patterns, and build resilience in the way they relate to themselves and others. She is especially skilled at helping clients heal from past trauma, strengthen emotional regulation, improve relationship patterns, and develop a more secure and grounded sense of self.
Clients often experience Ani as insightful, compassionate, and highly engaged, with an approach that balances depth, clarity, and practical support.
Outside of work, Ani enjoys baking, painting, and training her puppy, Peanut, which helps her recharge and feel more centered.
