Hello, and welcome! First, I want to congratulate you on the first step of your path to wellness, reaching out and exploring your options! I love coming alongside clients as they navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and more. Much of my work focuses on anxiety, self-esteem, self-growth, managing change, stress management, goals, coping skills, and women’s issues. I believe you are the expert of your own path, and that within you are many strengths that can help you move through the challenges you face. My role is to walk with you as you talk through those challenges and discover your way forward. My style is relaxed, and at times I may offer educational articles or gentle homework to support your growth. At this time, I work only with adults, and I bring additional training as a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP).
So choose the path that carries hope. Choose the kind of hard that leads to healing, growth, and peace. You deserve care, and it’s always worth beginning with yourself.
Welcome! My name is Ari. I specialize in CBT-Exposure Response Prevention treatment for OCD and anxiety. Clients I work with frequently report life changing reductions in anxiety and a new way of coping with obsessions and compulsions that give them more freedom to live their life. Research shows individuals can experience 25 to 35% reductions in OCD and anxiety symptoms withing 6 to 12 weeks of ERP treatment with variations on outcome depending on the frequency of appointments. Only about 4% of individuals do not experience these outcomes. I find that ERP is helpful for the majority of people I work with.
Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by change—whether it’s health concerns, caregiving stress, loss, anxiety, or life transitions that have left them uncertain about what comes next. They often carry the weight of caring for others while neglecting their own emotional needs. What they want most is to feel understood, find balance, and regain a sense of calm and direction. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and practical—helping you feel more confident, grounded, and at peace as you move forward.
