“I have known Ariel since 2008. I have supervised and mentored her. I have collaborated with her in building community. I have had many occasions to directly observe Ariel in a variety of work and personal environments. She is strongly attuned to those she is in relationship with. She is also clinically astute. But it is her compassion and sensitivity that stand out the most. And she understands change as something that happens when the right supports are present to favor it — which is how we should all think about change! My confidence in her integrity and skill continues to deepen over time. Those hoping for a soulful and human experience of therapy would do well to find a place at Ariel’s table.”

“I have had the privilege of knowing Ariel as both a colleague and friend for several years now, and I am so thankful for this! When I initially met Ariel in a professional context I was immediately struck by her warmth, compassion, intuitiveness, intelligence, and remarkable clinical skills. Since that initial meeting my respect for her has only multiplied. I want to also specifically note that while Ariel possesses dynamic skill level, she also possesses humility, humanity, and the desire and commitment to center equity and inclusivity. This combination of traits and abilities enables Ariel to be an incredibly mindful, intentional, and caring clinician; as well as human being. I am glad to know her and also be able to trust her as someone I can consult and rely upon both professionally and personally.”

“Ariel stands out for me as a thoughtful, kind, intellectually astute, and deeply wise therapist and colleague. She is very well informed in a variety of clinical subject matters and holds an eclectic balance of psychological orientations, while remaining focused and adept. She offers wisdom and perspective as a supervisor and consulting clinician, drawing from a wealth of resources, personal experience, education, and deep cultural understanding. Ariel shared her expertise in Internal Family Systems (Parts work) with me therapeutically, which gave me a first-hand personal experience of greater clarity and introspection that was deeply profound and healing. This secured my professional faith in her skills and I wholly trust referring clients to her. I truly feel supported and heard by her, trust her judgement, and am impressed by her ability to delicately balance pragmatism with compassion.”
