I utilize principles of Internal Family Systems (or "parts work"), psychodynamic, somatic, and mindfulness-based therapies, as well as ERP and Brainspotting.
My clients would describe me as easy to talk to, genuine, warm, inquisitive, and validating. While I take therapy seriously, I also think laughter is a powerful medicine. If you're tired of "just talking" in therapy, my interactive style might work well for you. If you're an "overthinker", I can help you get out of your head and into your emotions and body.

I am certified in both EMDR and Brainspotting -brain based therapies which access the parts of the nervous system most impacted by trauma.
I believe that each person has an innate ability to heal from trauma and pain. Events from the past can impact our mind and body in the present- sometimes getting in the way of current relationships and goals. I offer a safe space to tap into transformative healing, self-exploration, and personal growth. My clients bring an array of issues to therapy including trauma, addiction, sexual difficulties, relationship challenges, self-injury, and dissociation. I work collaboratively, recognizing that each client brings their own unique strengths to the work.

Do your emotions feel overwhelming? Are you bored and restless with your life? Does the future seem hopeless? Many of us experience these feelings, yet often think we're the only ones. We worry that if we show people what’s really going on, they will avoid and judge us. In therapy, we give voice to these feelings, and learn that while they can be scary at times, they also reveal a path to healing and change.

I am also certified in two trauma modalities - EMDR and Brainspotting.
“Life is slippery. Here, take my hand." Jackson Brown - In times of extraordinary stress, when old issues may be exacerbated, people need a place to feel heard and understood. They may be coping with the loss of a loved one, difficulty with their relationships, the loss of a job, or the isolation and fear of living through a pandemic. As a therapist, I lend an empathic ear and help clients explore and re-wire old issues, so they can become more resilient.

Hi! My approach to therapy is to welcome all of you—your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, behaviors, urges, dreams, and hopes—with compassion and nonjudgmental empathy.
You might feel stuck in patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, or needing control. Maybe self-criticism, anxious thoughts, or shame weigh you down. Or perhaps struggles with eating, body image, or emotional avoidance have left you disconnected.
If you’re seeking deep, lasting change—one that transforms how you relate to yourself, others, and the world—you’re in the right place.

Do you dread going to sleep because of recurring nightmares? Do you wake up feeling anxious, unsettled, or emotionally drained? Nightmares can be more than just bad dreams—they can disrupt your sleep, impact your mood, and interfere with your daily life. You don’t have to navigate that alone.
Nightmares are often your mind’s way of processing unresolved experiences or overwhelming emotions. Together, we will gently explore the patterns, triggers, and while building practical tools to reduce their frequency and intensity. My approach is anchored in trauma-informed, queer affirming, and anti-racist practices.

Arielle approaches therapy holistically, infusing Somatics, Internal Family Systems, Relational, Attachment-Based, Psychodynamic, Brainspotting, and Shamanic Modalities into the healing container.
I've served hundreds of people who care deeply about the world and others, but often feel anxious, fearful, dissociated, or dissatisfied with themselves, their relationships, and overall lives. This is often influenced by past trauma, painful relationship experiences, stress, and oppressive social forces. Folks often work through things with me they've hesitated exploring, such as childhood abuse, sexual assault, relational violence, complex grief, and non-ordinary state experiences. I am passionate about helping people heal the root of these challenges to reclaim their embodied, authentic sense of personal power and confidence.

You may carry a constant undercurrent of tension—feeling constantly alert, exhausted, or overwhelmed by emotions due to relentless inner demands. When stress, neglect, violence, or family dysfunction shape your story, it can lead to survival strategies like putting others first or silencing your own needs. Over time, these survival strategies can leave your body unsettled, your mind fatigued, and your sense of self fragmented.
As a Latinx, queer, and neurodiverse person, I understand the importance of exploring the intersections of our identities and honoring the wholeness of who we are.
