Hey there, I'm Arielle

I’m here to support you in building a solid foundation and living a life that reflects your soul’s truth.

 

I work with individuals, couples, and families who are committed to healing—emotionally, relationally, and physiologically. My role is to offer a grounded, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space as we explore the patterns that have shaped you, release what no longer serves you, and create new pathways rooted in self-trust and embodied resilience. Together, we honor your inner landscape—tending to past wounds, reconnecting to emotional truths, and integrating parts of yourself that long to be heard.

 

I hold dual licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California. I earned my master’s degree in Counseling and Clinical Health Psychology from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM), where I specialized in Health Psychology, and completed a PhD in Social and Political Psychology at UC Riverside.

 

My clinical background spans inpatient psychometric work, substance use counseling in Philadelphia, community-based crisis and family therapy, and private practice with individuals, couples, and families. I am trained in multiple evidence-based modalities, including:

 

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Trauma-Focused CBT

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Mindfulness-Based Approaches

  • Ecosystemic Structural Family Therapy

  • Level 3 Gottman Couples Therapy

​​

In addition to my psychotherapy training, I am a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) through the Nutritional Therapy Association and a Certified Nutrition Practitioner (C-NP) through Kale Diagnostics, where I am currently completing a supervised practicum. These programs support my integrative approach—blending mental health, somatic therapy, and functional nutrition for whole-person healing.

 

My work is trauma-informed, body-aware, and relational at its core. Whether you're navigating emotional overwhelm, chronic stress, relational challenges, or physical symptoms that traditional therapy hasn’t touched—this is a space where all of you is welcome.
