Hello! My name is Ari. My pronouns are they/them/theirs. I have been practicing therapy for 6 years, and have worked with neurodiverse children and adults for 10+ years. Some things I love the most are: good food, weird art, and my little Maltipoo.
Are you looking for a quirky therapist who can help your child or teen build friendships, navigate big emotions, or heal from family trauma? Are you an adult recovering from a psychotic episode or complex trauma and looking for compassionate support? I’d love to support you!
Seeking out therapy while managing ongoing mental health symptoms can be exhausting and vulnerable. I understand how challenging it can feel to trust someone with your experiences, especially if previous supports haven’t felt right. My approach is collaborative, playful, and creative - centering safety, understanding, and validation.

I've worked with neurodivergent children and adults for over 10 years, with 6 years of experience treating moderate to severe mental health concerns as a therapist. I also support adults who are court-mandated to therapy due to legal involvement/arrest related to a past psychotic episode.

I'm a good fit for youth and adults who've been "in and out" of therapy and want to feel truly seen. In our first session, I'll ask questions to understand you or your child's experiences and what has/hasn't worked for you. I create a collaborative and comfortable space focused on safety and recovery. Clients who work with me often enjoy using art, creativity, and humour on the path to recovery.

I'm an eclectic therapist who blends evidence-based, cultural, and art-based healing practices to support each individual's needs. I bring a strong understanding of neurodiverse clients and a playful, creative approach. I also believe in teaching about complex trauma and how the nervous system and brain shape our experiences, and what can help us cope with systemic injustices or family trauma.
