Hi there, I'm Ariella!

For over 15 years, I've had the privilege of working and supporting people through some of life's most challenging moments. I combine clinical depth and a blend of a direct and accepting approach, as I believe real change happens when you feel truly safe, understood, and never alone in it.

My focus

I work with adults and couples facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship pain, and grief. If you're carrying more than you let on and are ready for something to shift, I am here to help and guide you through this with patience, skill, and focus on your growth.

My approach

What guides my work most is you. I meet you where you are, bring evidence-based tools that actually fit your personality and needs, and work alongside you to build real, lasting change from the inside out. I draw on CBT, DBT, ACT, Psychodynamic, Prolonged Exposure, and trauma-informed care to get us there.
