Ariel’s Message to Clients

 

Are you in a season where you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply behind in life? Have you been comparing yourself to others? Do you feel uncertain about your next steps, or struggling with knowing your own purpose and potential? Or maybe past traumas are weighing you down, making it hard to move forward.

 

My start in the mental health field was driven by a desire to support individuals just like you, who felt weighed down from the pressure to succeed.Whether you’re dealing with the pressure to succeed, navigating religious trauma, forming your identity, or seeking purpose and meaning, I want to help.

 

I strongly believe in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship. Building trust and rapport with my clients, along with providing a safe and culturally-competent space, is at the heart of my practice. This connection is the foundation for your experience in therapy.

 

I’m driven by a desire to understand and connect with others on a profound level. I’m here to guide and support you on your journey towards growth, healing, and self-discovery. Together, we can create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling for you. I invite you to send us an email to schedule a 15-minute consultation and see if we’re a good fit!
