Hi! I'm Ariana! Welcome to the first step in your journey to healing! I serve all who come to seek to improve upon themselves in any capacity. I am a provider who values good, strong communication, honesty, mutual respect and most of all, a good laugh. Safety is always my goal when it comes to your care, and it is my priority. I work to give all the tools to find their strength, consistency and peace in building a life that works for them on their terms. Whether that's a need to create boundaries, learning to prioritize self, or managing symptoms of depression or anxiety - no need is unworthy of the time it takes to heal. Let's work together to build success, happiness, and joy. I'm ready when you are.
In our first session we will get to know each other! I think it is so important for everyone to feel comfortable and for you to feel safe and heard. I will ask a lot of questions and we will work together to come up with a plan to get you to where you want to go.
I feel strong in my ability to read others - this time we spend together has to be useful, and if I see something, I'll say something - even if I'm wrong! Our journey is about learning each other, and you learning about you. I am most proficient in treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, and helping others make sense of the big (and little) things.
I love working with women and people of color at any phase in their life. I enjoy helping others get the tools to navigate life, societal expectations and increase knowledge of themselves.
I identify as
Psychodynamic
I emphasize exploring past experiences and traumas to understand current behavior and emotional patterns, as well as promote insight and making unconscious processes conscious.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I focus on improving self-talk, identifying cognitive distortions, and building coping skills. I often integrate humor to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, because why not make a realization and have a laugh? Exploration doesn't always have to be scary.
Narrative
I work to balance acceptance with change - I encourage clients to sit with difficult feelings while taking values-based actions.
Strength-Based
I emphasize client autonomy, growth, and innate strengths with humor, warmth, and unconditional positive regard at its core.

My therapist is incredibly warm and intuitive. From our very first session, she made me feel safe, understood, and truly seen. She has a way of helping me feel optimistic about who I am and who I can become. I’m genuinely grateful to be working with her and feel confident I’m in the right place.

I have gotten very far in my therapy with Ariana. She is caring, intuitive and knows how to direct thoughtful therapy in a way I have never experienced before. It has allowed me to grow and learn and live! I feel extremely empowered and able after a year with her.
