(she/her)
**Please note- I am only taking individual clients at this time due to a full couples caseload** Often times life can feel like a swamp, a bog of chaos where all your energy is focused on just trying to keep your head above water. If you are tired of treading the swamp and are ready to start swimming through it, I would be honored to partner with you in your therapeutic journey. I believe in the healing power of authentic human connection and vulnerability. Therapy is a hard, emotional (and often overwhelming) journey, but it's worth every meaningful step. Because YOU are worth every step.
First sessions can generate a lot of anxiety for folks, regardless of our exposure to therapy in the past. My priority is to get some basic information, review confidentiality, answer any questions you have. Then we start mapping out the goals I can partner with you to work on, and start diving in! I do like giving homework assignments at the end of each session that relate directly to what we worked on, and often this homework is more processing/reflecting vs. "paper" homework.
I love what I do. It may seem simple, and for me it truly is. The mutual hard work AND shared rewards that come from partnering with clients to help "set down" what is no longer serving them... it is an honor to be a part of. My approach is authentic and non-judgmental, and my goal is to create a safe and compassionate processing space in my therapeutic relationships. I also foster a "no BS" zone in our work, meaning if you are there to work on your goals, we are both accountable to staying on track with that and getting into the harder stuff when we need to- even when it's not comfortable. I will be in it with you, every step of the way.
I am fully committed to supporting clients who are ready to engage and work towards their goals. As a "card carrying member" of the human race, I know the powerful allure of stuffing all the hurt down and trying to ignore it. We know it won't work, but we keep thinking "it might this time." If you want to try something different, I am here to help you explore that. If you are a therapist looking for a therapist, please know I have experience with this population.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I have been using ACT since I started practicing and have found it to be a good foundation to incorporate additional approaches into. It focuses on identifying and using our core values in decision making, so we move towards what is most important to us vs. only focusing on avoiding fear or emotional discomfort.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
As humans we are multifaceted beings, and IFS focuses on how we all have different parts of ourselves (e.g. a critical part, a perfectionist part, a shut-down part) that act as defense mechanisms, and how to work WITH those parts vs. feeling at war with ourselves. IFS is a highly effective approach that gets down to the "why" of the issue and grows self-compassion in a powerful and unique way.
Attachment-based
Our early child/adult relationships (the "nurture" part of the nature/nurture equation) provide the baseline of how we view the world- and ourselves. Understanding our attachment lens is vital to any relationship work, including our own work with ourselves.

She is incredibly, warm, intelligent, and open minded. I came to her angry, sad, hopeless, and left the session completely the opposite. She can explain things to you that your unaware of. Things you beat yourself up over She breaks down and gives you answers as to why you react a certain way. You feel heard, understood, respected, and she gives you hope. Shes a gift to this field. Ive seen many over the years she is hands down the best ive worked with. I am so thankful for finding her.

Ariele was a very great listener! She was able to keep up with what i was saying as she was taking notes. She was also able to ask me questions which made me think about a new idea. She is determined to help and i cant wait to learn more ideas on how to work on regulating my mental health.Thank you Ariele!
