Introduction

Hi, I’m Ariel. I became a therapist because I don’t believe in staying stuck — I focus on helping people shift their thinking, change patterns, and build a life that feels steady and intentional. For the past ten years I’ve worked with veterans, which shaped my belief in practical, results-focused care that actually helps you feel better in daily life. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with hypnosis-based techniques and exposure therapy when helpful, giving you clear tools you can apply right away. My goal is real, lasting change so you leave therapy with the confidence, skills, and independence to move forward on your own.
