Hi Everybody! I am excited to share that I am 28 weeks pregnant with our first kid! That said I will be on maternity leave from July 1st until sometime in early November and will not be taking anymore new clients until I return to work. Please contact me in November if you are interested in beginning therapy then.

Warmly,
Ariana

Exciting News!!! I am expanding my practice and have my very own office space! The amount of inquiries I get per week from people wanting to start therapy has been overwhelming so now seemed like the right time. Today is my first day seeing clients in my new office and I love the space. There are redwoods right outside my window and it feels so peaceful. I am still waiting on some art for a couple walls but it already feels like home.

Starting January of 2021 I will be available for in person and ZOOM sessions Monday-Thursday 🙌

Common Symptoms of Trauma:
-Higher anxiety and hypervigilance
-Increased use of coping mechanisms (ie: substances)
-Insomnia/Bad Dreams
-Intrusive thoughts of past trauma
-Intense and abrupt feelings of anger, sadness, grief

We are in a time of trauma and loss with no set end date. If you notice that you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, they are normal but can be incredibly distressing. You do not need to suffer alone. Please reach out to friends, family or a trained therapist for support. ❤️

I just joined this group of therapists willing to give short term therapy to front line workers during COVID-19 for $50 a session. If you or someone you know is working in a hospital, grocery store, first responder, etc. send them to : https://www.coronavirusonlinetherapy.com/

Short-term, pro-bono and reduced fee online therapy for those on the front line during the Coronavirus COVID-19 Pandemic.

Taking some time in this strange situation to talk about CONTROL or lack thereof 😜

03/17/2020

Wednesday at 2pm I’ll be on Facebook Live talking about CONTROL.
Join me, ask questions and let’s connect as best we can during this time!

Today I made the decision to only see clients via teletherapy in order to protect them and myself from contracting or spreading Coronavirus.

I will miss connecting with them in person but feel like its the right thing to do for now.

I am also thinking of doing a Facebook Live video on Wednesday possibly discussing anxiety in our current times since I am staying home and have all the time in the world! Stay tuned fo more info. Take care of yourselves and each other.
