Hello! My name is Ariel, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in working with children and adults who have faced systemic harm and societal stigma, including LGBTQ and TGNC individuals, women, and those from other marginalized communities. I Am an EMDR Certified Clinician and I have extensive experience working with people who have endured complex trauma. I believe in the power of a strengths-based relational therapy model. I am committed to celebrating diversity and I hold an affirming stance on all genders, sexualities, careers, kinks, reproductive choices, and alternative relationship structures.

I find it valuable to incorporate art, play, music, and other creative techniques in sessions to cultivate an engaging and personalized therapeutic environment. I believe in the power of somatic and movement-based healing. I believe that the relationship between a therapist and their clients should be built on mutual respect and compatibility.

Here is a bit of info that might help you decide if you think we'd be a good fit: I am a lesbian. I have two cats. I love crochet and crafting. I think there is power and healing in laughter so am always down for a good joke. I am a Pisces, an ENFP-A, and an optimist. Schedule an intro call to meet me, and I will do my best to answer any questions you might have.
