About Me

Introduction

My name is Arianna, and I am a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (License # 119203). I hold an MA in Clinical Counseling from Palo Alto University and live in the North Bay Area. I have been a practicing therapist for 10 years and am experienced in working with a wide variety of conditions, socioeconomic backgrounds, ethnicities, religions, genders, sexual identities and interests.

I provide remote teletherapy sessions via phone and web based teleconferencing. This format allows me to reach patients all across California while keeping therapy quality high and sessions costs lower. It also means that you do not have to stress about commuting to an office for sessions, missing out on therapy while traveling, or adjusting to a new space. Instead, you get to enjoy therapy from the comfort of your home, office or other private space.

My Therapy Style

I am a hands on therapist that still allows for plenty of flexibility and personal choice. You will find me to be direct and goal oriented, while still being empathetic and kind. I provide space for my clients to progress at their own pace, while still holding them accountable to themselves and their goals.

As an integrative therapist, I draw from many evidence-based treatment styles, including: cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness/ meditation, motivational interviewing and positive psychology. I use a patient centered empowerment model with an inclusive feminist lens.

Who I Work With

I welcome individuals of all backgrounds from ages 15 and older. In particular, I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, gender non-binary people, polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous (ENM) relationships and those in the kink community. I currently provide both individual and couples therapy services via private pay on a sliding scale basis. My primary focus is on treating anxiety, depression, behavioral disorders, interpersonal relationship difficulties and gender affirming care.

My Mission

I want to help you become the best possible version of yourself, as defined by you and no one else. Come to me if you feel like you’re not where you want to be in life, if you feel like no one understands you, or like you might not even understand yourself.

I want to help you realize your goals and desires in life, even if you’re not quite sure what they are at the moment. Together we will piece together a happy and fulfilling life, one step at a time.
