Life can be tedious and overwhelming, especially when we do it with kids, work, and family. Even if we look around and see that “nothing is actually wrong in our lives”, we may still feel sad, lonely, anxious, and overwhelmed. Therapy can be very helpful in gaining the internal tools needed to cope better with our lives.

I work best with clients who want to take a step (or many!) in their lives.

I’m glad that we’ve found each other. My name is Arianne and I've been partnering with individuals for 12 years, navigating the challenges, celebrating the victories, and working towards the life each person hopes for themselves. When life feels like it is too much to handle, you might know what you need to do logically to make things better, but actually starting can feel scary. When you're stuck in a loop of negative thoughts and bad habits, it's hard to shake off the guilt and move forward. You understand your struggles and story better than anyone else and I am here to work alongside you to restore your calm.

Seeking help is the most challenging thing that most of us will ever do. Armed with life skills, information, and knowledge, we are expected to have all the right answers. Even if we have endured familial, racial, or socio-economic struggles and barriers, we hesitate to seek assistance because of our conditioning to perfection. This pressure makes it that much harder to speak with an absolute stranger and pour out all our life’s troubles. However, if that stranger is a genuine listener, makes us feel safe, and compassionately transitions us from pain to healing, it becomes easier to let that person in on our helplessness.

It can be difficult to notice changes in our day-to-day lives in our mood, behavior, or relationships and how that shift may affect our overall well-being. Various stressors in our lives can cause these changes. As a therapist, I bring a genuine sense of compassion for my clients' difficulties, placing great emphasis on building meaningful relationships, transparency, and authenticity. My integrated approach to care utilizes cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and mindfulness techniques to work toward a patient-centered conceptualization of health.

I have been working with children, adolescents and adults for over 35 years, using a mind-body approach to help people understand and resolve their concerns, and live their lives to the fullest. I specialize in trauma, including medically related, emotional, physical and sexual abuse and those difficult to manage situations that continue to haunt us despite our best efforts.I also specialize in eating disorders. I find Somatic Experiencing and EMDR to be highly effective with both eating disorders and trauma.

While my practice is supporting clients with a range of concerns, I have a dedication and extensive experience working with older adults and people with disabilities.
Not accepting new clients at this time. Finding support for yourself to help get through times of feeling stuck or managing emotions can be so helpful. What I enjoy most about my work is partnering with clients as they build their resilence in working through challenges. I've seen this in both my work as a psychotherapist as well as being a social work care manager and social worker in health care settings for 20 plus years.

I am not accepting new clients at this time. I view the individual wholistically and focus the counseling goals on mental, physical and spiritual well being. In the beginning of the therapeutic process I will take the first few visits to gather information about the concerns you have, the area of your life that you would like to change and the goals you have for yourself. I will use certain assessment tools as appropriate including a family genogram. After our assessment has been completed in about three sessions, we will agree upon treatment goals for therapy. Sliding scale fees available.
