Life is full of a vast number of events which can be positive and negative and can affect our lives in different ways.

Hi! I'm Ariana, a Mental Health Therapist and Clinical Psy.D Doctoral student. Welcome to the beginning of this beautiful journey of therapy! You are simply, a human, wanting freedom from past trauma, pain, and the daily stressors that threaten to take you down. I can relate in more ways than one and promise to be with you every step of the way. There will be challenging times, exhausting even. However, you deserve to live a life that is authentic, joy-filled, and open to receiving all of life's blessings. Don't doubt yourself, doubt your doubts. Be unapologetically you and you will experience a freedom that you've only dreamt of.

At some point in our lives, we find ourselves struggling to grapple with strong and uncomfortable emotions. We end up hitting a barrier, which can paralyze and isolate us, lead to self-defeating patterns, and ultimately disrupt life. Regardless of the cause, daily life can begin to feel unmanageable and pulling ourselves out of a dark place might seem impossible. With thorough exploration, support, and patience, I can help you develop a better understanding of your self and how to move beyond your barriers.

I specialize in techniques that have proven to bring relief to trauma, stroke and Alzheimer's patients. It is my priority to provide a compassionate and nurturing treatment. I am a licensed creative art therapist with a background in neuro-biology. My extensive experience with people from many cultures helps me better understand each person's unique needs and provide individualized care.

I believe in creating a warm, friendly, judge-free atmosphere for you to comfortably share and process your past or current thoughts, emotions and issues together. Whether you’re feeling anxious, stressed, depressed, experiencing panic attacks or feeling like you’re going through a unique issue, you are not alone. Just talking and venting about your week alone, can be helpful to be able to process your thoughts and feelings with someone that will focus solely on you without any interruptions. Additionally, being multi-cultural and bilingual, has allowed me to be culturally sensitive and work well with diverse backgrounds.

The only way to change is to define who you are and then change your habits to align with who your new self is. It's as simple as that, but the problem that arises the most with the clients who come into my office is; who is this new person I want to be. This can be difficult, because many times there are many underlying factors that prevent us, or that we perceive prevent us from taking the steps we need to move forward. It is my job is to help you realize what great potential you have inside you already. With that said let's work together to pick apart the old ideas you have of yourself, and create a new pathway forward.

I am strong believer in listening to people who needs someone to talk to in order actualize their goals and achieve them despite life changes, past traumas, and anxieties. My training and experience have developed my ability to help clients understand how to advocate for themselves. I am known for unconditional acceptance, my non-judgmental stance, sense of curiosity, and gentle compassion with a touch of humor. I practice Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Person-centered Therapy.
