Licensed Professional Counselor

Hey, my name is Ariel. I offer therapy services at our Arlington, VA clinic.

I am a licensed therapist with experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families facing anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, crisis-related concerns, and personal growth challenges. My approach to therapy is compassionate, practical, and culturally responsive. I believe meaningful change begins when people feel understood rather than judged.

Together, we explore the experiences, relationships, patterns, & circumstances that have shaped your life while identifying strengths & developing tools that support lasting growth. Rather than focusing on what is “wrong,” I help clients gain insight, build self-awareness, and create meaningful change aligned with their values and goals.

If you’re reading this, you may be carrying challenges that feel overwhelming, uncertain, or difficult to navigate alone. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow. It would be a privilege to walk alongside you.
