Hello, it is so wonderful to meet you! My name is Ariel, and I love working with people to find new tools, insights, and perspectives to help them get through the difficult parts of life. Whether it's in the past or present, trauma and other bad experiences can have a long lasting impact on us. If you've struggled with anxiety, depression, anger, emotional numbness, and/or anything that has made life difficult because of those experiences, you're not alone.
As a therapist, I use an individualized approach to help tailor both the knowledge and tools I have to best fit you and your lifestyle. I am a trauma-informed therapist and use EMDR, CBT, DBT, somatic therapy, and others to help my clients reprocess and reduce the impact of those experiences.
Getting started with therapy or looking for new options can be overwhelming, scary, and even daunting- so congratulations and props to you for starting this journey. You got this! If you think that we would be a good fit, please feel free to reach out and I'd love to get started working with you. Current Availability: 10am-2pm Weekdays.

My goal as a therapist is to help you build an understanding of your emotions and reactions to help you know what tools to use as you experience them. I blend DBT, somatic, and trauma-focused work to help you build that understanding and then to help you find the right tools to heal. We will also work on building interpersonal skills to help you communicate your emotions and needs with others.
