About

I have family members who've experienced OCD, so I have deep empathy for those struggling with mental health. As a therapist, I'm humanistic. I believe your treatment should be guided by you. I encourage you to have self-compassion as you learn to recognize that you are not your thoughts. The goal is progress, not perfection. As a team, we'll get there. I’ve also worked in crisis mental health services, treating substance use disorders and survivors of sexual and domestic violence.

      Arielle is lovely. She assured me that while I have struggled with OCD for a very long time, so long that I trust the process, my tendencies should get more like those of a functioning human being.

      I had an educational appointment to help a close friend who was recently diagnosed with OCD. After reading a lot about OCD, I wasn't sure how to handle some situations. My therapist helped me clarify ways I can help my friend.

      I feel like it was a good fit for me. I like how she encouraged me tell her as much as possible so it was not like an interview. And when I wanted it to be like an interview she was happy to switch her style to accommodate me.
