Welcome to Trauma Recovery Psychiatry Center! My practice focuses on medication management with supportive therapy. I specialize in working with children and adults who have experienced trauma. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. I have extensive experience treating a wide range of conditions including PTSD, OCD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, and insomnia. I earned my BSN from NYU and my PMHNP from Eastern Kentucky University. Over the past 9 years, I've had the opportunity to work in diverse settings including inpatient units, crisis stabilization centers, and outpatient clinics. This breadth of experience allows me to support clients through a variety of challenges with care and confidence. I’m here to help you feel safe, heard, and supported as you begin or continue your healing journey
I create an environment that fosters trust and respect. I want to learn more about you, your expectations as well as your past experiences in psychiatry so I understand your perspective. Starting from our first session, I want you to feel seen and heard. To do so, we will talk about your level of comfort sharing personal information and we will create a treatment plan that you are in agreement with.
I have helped countless clients overcome their symptoms to live a fuller life. My practice provides a compassionate, trauma-informed environment where clients feel safe and understood. My greatest strengths include a deep knowledge of trauma-related disorders, expertise in evidence-based treatments like trauma-focused CBT and EMDR, and the ability to build trust with clients through empathy and active listening. I'm skilled at helping individuals process complex emotions, manage triggers, and develop healthy coping strategies. My holistic approach focuses on healing the mind, body, and spirit, empowering clients to regain control and achieve lasting recovery.
My ideal client is someone carrying the weight of trauma and emotional dysregulation who is ready for relief but unsure of where to start. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, insomnia, or focus issues—often feeling overwhelmed, unheard, misunderstood, or stuck. They want to feel safe, regulated, hopeful, and in control of their life again. Their goal is healing, clarity, and the ability to function and thrive, not just survive.
Motivational Interviewing
I create a non-judgmental and respectful space that focuses on your autonomy. I help you find the motivation that comes from within yourself, so that you feel empowered and ready to take steps toward the changes you want to make.
Compassion Focused
I help you develop kindness and understanding toward yourself, especially when you're feeling anxious, depressed, or struggling, so you can heal and improve your well-being.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop coping strategies, and improve emotional regulation.
Psychoeducation
I will provide you with information and knowledge to better understand your mental health, symptoms, and treatment options, so you can make informed decisions and feel more in control of your well-being.

I loved how I didn't feel rushed, and how she genuinely cared to hear my answers to her questions even when I went off-track. She is so knowledgable and helpful to work with what my goals are.

Ani was highly recommended by the psychologist that completed my neuropsychological assessment. She has been wonderful to work with. Ani is knowledgeable, caring, and listens to my concerns. I feel she provides a safe space where I can get the support I need and recommendations that work for treating my distressing symptoms.
