Professional statement

Ariella believes in a relationship-based approach to therapy that helps create a trusting space where clients feel comfortable and understood. In her opinion, the most important part of therapy is feeling understood and accepted, so she prioritizes being her authentic self in each session so her clients feel safe. Ariella draws from a variety of perspectives so she can work with each individual client on creating a treatment plan that fits their unique needs. Ariella believes that everyone deserves to be happy, and her job is to support you along your journey to finding that happiness.

Message to clients

I believe that the path to a successful therapeutic relationship starts with me bringing my full, authentic self into our sessions so you feel safe, comfortable, and confident in the work we are doing. I am an empathetic, warm, active listener who remains present during our sessions so I can meet you where you are on a given day. I believe that we are all the experts in our own lives, so I allow my clients to lead our sessions in the way they feel most comfortable and aim to provide the guidance and support they need to take their next steps forward.
