Armenian-speaking psychologist in Amsterdam & online

Therapy in your own language

For many people, home has meant more than one place and more than one language. Some things are easiest to say in Armenian, and in therapy you shouldn’t have to translate yourself.

I offer sessions in Armenian, English, and Arabic, and you can move between them whenever it feels easier. Mixing languages in the same session is completely fine.

Bring your whole story

Family ties, history, faith, and life between cultures often shape what brings people to therapy. All of it is welcome in our sessions, without judgment.

I have over 10 years of clinical experience, including work at a psychiatric hospital in Lebanon, with Médecins Sans Frontières in Beirut, and in private clinics. Today I live and work in Amsterdam, and see clients in person and online.

What I can help with

• Anxiety & depressionWorry, panic, low mood, and feeling stuck or flat.
• OCDIntrusive thoughts, checking, doubt, and rituals that take over your day.
• Relationships & familyConflict, loss, and big life changes that affect how you connect.
• Old patternsThe same feelings and choices that keep repeating, often since early life.
• Life between two worldsMoving countries, identity, and finding where you feel at home.
• Not sure?If you don’t know where your struggle fits, that’s fine. Just ask me.

I work mainly with CBT and IPT: practical, evidence-based therapy with tools you can use in everyday life.

Private and confidential

In close communities, privacy matters. Everything you share stays between us and is stored securely under the GDPR. I don’t share anything with your family, employer, or community. The only exception is a serious risk to your safety or someone else’s, and if that ever comes up, I’ll talk it through with you first wherever possible.
