(she/her)
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCHMC) in North Carolina with 6 years of professional work experience. I have a Bachelor's degree in African American Studies from The University of Charlotte, and earned her Master's degree in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University. While working with client's I utilize the therapeutic techniques Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Therapy. I focus on helping clients find peace, healing, and mental clarity in their lives.
In our first session will start with a brief introduction, then review the information that was completed prior to session. We will begin to focus on your current challenges. This will allow me to create a person centered treatment plan tailored to your personal needs and treatment goals.
My greatest strength would be my ability to work with a diverse population of individuals. I believe my past experience has given me an opportunity to work with people from all walks of life. I have experience in addiction, the criminal justice system, social services, and mental health. This has provided me with an opportunity to help so many people and better myself as a therapist.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
This method of treatment has been effective with treating my clients dealing with addiction, anxiety, depression, and trauma. This particular method has allowed me to help several individuals over the past years. It encourages individuals to challenge the way they process information and make decisions. Clients are taught skills to utilize to assist them with managing their emotions in a healthy way.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
This treatment method has worked great when working with people who suffer from anxiety or anger issues. It allows the individual to calm down and focus their attention on something other than the current issue. This will assist them with forcing their bodies into "relaxation mode".

Ariel is a wonderful, intelligent person. She has helped me through my darkest times and has became the friend I have always needed. She empowers me, makes me laugh when I need to, and strengthens me when I desperately need it. I recommend her to anyone needing a friend and provider to help them.
