About Arianne

Hello! I’m Arianne.
I am a certified Brainspotting therapist and I specialize in working with adult individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, and communication challenges. I strive to create a warm, safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore what they are doing well, the various factors that could be contributing to their current stress or pain, and what they would like to add to their life to achieve the goals they have.

My primary approach to therapy is using empathy and co-creating a therapeutic relationship with clients to establish a foundation upon which therapeutic tools can be explored and integrated into everyday life. I work from a combination of therapeutic frameworks including client centered therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and holistic and mindfulness approaches. I value the use of compassion, humor, self-love and play throughout the therapeutic journey.

As a white, heterosexual, cisgender, woman, I am actively engaging incontinuing to deepen my understanding of how these identities and the culture I was raised in have shaped my experiences. I am passionate about exploring and celebrating all the different aspects of one’s identity with clients in whatever capacity feels authentic to them.
Everyone has inherent strengths, resources and magical qualities. Let’s celebrate and uncover or rediscover yours together!
