I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois and New York. I received my Masters in Social Work from New York University and have been practicing for over 10 years. My experience includes helping children and young adults struggling with their emotions and relationships to find their strengths, accomplish their goals, manage their emotions, and helping them build a support system.
In today’s fast-paced and stress-filled world, it is a privilege to work with individuals who are ready to take meaningful steps toward improving their mental health. Whether you have a clear vision of the changes you’d like to make or need guidance in setting those goals, we can collaborate to create a plan tailored to your needs. Together, we’ll start by exploring the most significant aspects of your life, including your personal history and key relationships, to build a comprehensive understanding of who you are. Recognizing that every individual is unique, I strive to provide treatment that is fully personalized.
I have been helping people finding solutions to complex problems for more than 20 years. I have a wealth of experience with individuals across the life span and the many challenges we face at various stages of life.
Psychotherapy provides a space to achieve personal growth and navigate challenges within a trusting, supportive relationship with a trained expert. As a clinical psychologist, I specialize in helping people with a variety of problems, including those struggling with mood, emotion regulation, trauma, identity, relationships, academic/professional issues, body image, and eating disorders. Together, we identify and work toward goals while seeking deeper understanding into their behaviors and problems.
I am trained in multiple treatment modalities, including psychodynamic, relational, cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavior, and systemic family therapies. My work is highly influenced by a multicultural approach, and I work with each individual to develop a tailor-made, integrative treatment to address his or her needs.
Personal growth is a lifelong process and for many, psychotherapy can be an incredibly fulfilling step in the journey. My goal is to provide a warm and safe environment that is fruitful to deep and long-lasting change. See my website for more information on my practice and areas of specialization, and call or email me to set up an initial consultation.

Hi, I'm Ani, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with six years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I specialize in grief, life transitions, relationship stress, and supporting people navigating the pressures of cultural identity and immigration. I'm also bilingual in Armenian, and I welcome clients who want to do this work in their first language.
I have worked in the field of psychology for over 25 years and hold two Master’s degrees as well as a PhD in Neuropsychology. I provide psychotherapy for individuals across the lifespan and specialize in the treatment of mood disorders, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
I also work with individuals who are navigating major life stressors such as divorce, career transitions, and other significant changes. In addition, I help clients address concerns related to anger management, chronic stress, and the psychological impact of health issues.
My goal is to support clients in developing effective coping strategies, gaining insight, and making meaningful changes that improve their overall well-being and quality of life.
I am trained as a clinical social worker. I consider my patients in the context of their family, social and cultural background. I work with adults of all ages.
Clients often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and direct. I aim to create a space where you feel understood and supported, while also gently challenged to grow. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, not judgmental, not passive, and not surface-level.
