(she/her)
Hi! My name is Ariana and I am a Licensed Therapist based in California. I received my Master’s Degree in Social Work from California State University in 2014 and have been providing therapy to clients of all ages, to help improve their well-being in all areas of their life. I use a holistic and collaborative approach, exploring how family, environment, and physical well-being all impact mental health. Please note I do NOT do court-mandated therapy, provide letters for Emotional Support Animals, or letters for accommodations at work/school. Anything regarding disability, you will need to seek from a medical doctor/psychiatrist.
In our initial session, we will discuss brief introductions, and get into what brings you to therapy including specific challenges you’re facing. This will help me build an individualized treatment plan for our work together. We will also discuss your strengths, interests, and answer any questions you may have for me.
Having worked with youth and adults, and families for the past 15+ years, I’ve developed an ability to meet my clients where they are at, and assist them in finding their way to living balanced and fruitful lives. I look forward to meeting you!

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have found CBT to be an effective approach to supporting clients with a wide range of challenges. It includes homework so you can practice what we discuss between sessions. We identify and develop treatment goals together to help you achieve them within the time-limited (typically 12-20 sessions) schedule.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I help clients understand what's driving their distress, build emotional clarity, and shift patterns that no longer serve them - all in a space that’s collaborative, reflective, and grounded in real change.
Family Therapy
Family conflict is often painful, but the very same family challenges that bring you into therapy may provide a pathway to the harmonious, loving and satisfying family life you have been wishing for. I specialize in approaches that have been proven effective with a variety of complex problems faced by a diverse range of families. Working within a safe and structured environment, I support you and your loved ones in finding stable ground in your relationships, healing from past troubles and creating new, healthier ways of relating. If your family is facing challenges and conflict, I can help you both to build a new foundation for your family, and to reconnect with the generations of family resilience each unique family represents.

I really appreciate how warm and open she was. I felt she was listening and truly gave me the space and room to speak and express myself and that meant the world to me.
