Hi, my name is Ariane and I am a California-based LCSW. Outside of therapy, I love being active to stay sane including running and hiking, as well as crocheting when I'm inside! I've always got a a novel I'm working my way through as well. I earned my Masters at the University of Illinois but returned to my home-state to further my career. I've been licensed for 4 years, but have been working in the mental health field for over 10 years. I provide a safe space for clients to work through their struggles without judgement and guiding clients toward their goals. I meet clients where they are at and work together while providing an outside perspective and psycho-education as needed.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I will meet you with empathy and unconditional positive regard. I hope to have clients feel supported, engaged, and to work collaboratively to reach their treatment goals.
I have worked in a variety of settings with a variety of clients including adult mental health facilities, youth group homes, providing case management for adults with developmental disabilities, case management for adults discharged from the hospital, school-based counseling, and tele-therapy. This experience allows me to provide support to a wide variety of clients. I enjoy working with individuals who are goal-oriented, but maybe don't have the tools to be able to reach their potential.

I believe in a client-centered modality and meeting my clients where they are at. When life gets hard I believe it is important to have someone to help you process what you're going through from a place of curiosity rather than judgment. My goal is to help my clients improve their quality of life while feeling like they have a safe space to be heard. Clients will be able to process how their thoughts and behaviors are connected.
Let's break down what your struggling with together and look for a path forward that is supportive and possibly a perspective you haven't considered before.
I always come from a strength-based perspective, understanding what you are already bringing to any given situation or issue and how it can be harnessed to meet your needs.
It's important to have a better understanding of the framework from which our lives are built. Psychoeducation can also help normalize your experiences.
