Thank you, Ariel, for all your guidance and patience over these last few months. You gave me valuable, practical tools that I can hold on to forever. I loved when you got excited when I told you I implemented a strategy I learned during counseling. You helped me realized that I am human and I am not alone in my journey. You challenged me and helped me realize things about myself I never considered. I pray that God continues to bless your ministry.

Ariel is phenomenal, my life is significantly better. I’m able to identify obstacles better, I’m able to work my way through problems, I hold myself accountable for what I can control in life, and I also am able to let go of things when I can’t. She’s changed my life and I am grateful.

I worked with Ariel during the summer of 2022 when I was dealing with depression after some significant life changes. This was my first experience with therapy. Ariel was very professional, always listened, and I never had any doubt that she had my best interests in mind as a patient. I would recommend her practice to others seeking help.
