Arianna has been practicing in the mental health field for over twenty years. She earned a masters degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and has a Masters of Social Work from California State University, Los Angeles. Arianna’s experience focuses extensively on ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, life adjustments, LGBTQ+ issues, ethical non-monogamy, and generally exploring solutions to “un-stick oneself.” Arianna believes there isn’t just one right tool for the job, so she takes an eclectic approach to mental health treatment, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, meditation, re-framing, narrative therapy, and somatic work. She believes mind wellness is as vital as body wellness, and actively works to destigmatize and democratize mental health care.

 

Additionally, Arianna’s experience growing up in a small town gave her first-hand insight and experience into the impact of bullying, repression, reputation-based culture, tribalism, and othering.

 

She works extensively with clients who have lived these things as well.

In her time off from work, Arianna can be found hiking, doing or teaching yoga, hanging out with her son, or flying on her trapeze. Her ongoing aerialist training also gives her special insight into elite athletics, visualization, and performance mindset.
