I help people become more fully themselves by reconnecting them with their strengths and discovering root causes. Finding a therapist can be intimidating and discouraging. But, it's worth it. If you're keeping it together on the outside but feeling burned out, tired, anxious, or apathetic; or if you feel off but you're not sure why; you're in the right place. My style blends candor with warmth, insight with empathy, existential ponderings with practical strategies, and humor with compassion.

Welcome! My name is Arielle, I also go by AJ, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with an MSW from the University of MN. My approach to therapy is rooted in intersectional feminism, racial equity, and queer and trans liberation. I am excited to work with individuals of all gender and sexual identities. As a queer, gender-expansive person, I am especially passionate about working with folks from the LGBTQIA2S+ community, particularly those who identify as bi+, pansexual, trans, nonbinary, and/or minoritized/invisible in our community. I bring an interpersonal, trauma-informed, strengths-based lens to this work.

I work with clients dealing with loss and transition and those struggling with anxiety and depression. I help my clients learn to be more present in their lives. This reduces irritability, reactivity, and the feeling of being overwhelmed or preoccupied. Together, we work to increase awareness of where they hold tension in their bodies and what triggers this tension. Often, we identify the emotions that are underneath the anxiety and they begin to heal by learning to accept and “sit with” these difficult feelings with compassion. This allows more ease in interpersonal interactions, conflict resolution and more joy in life.

Or maybe you have past trauma that seems to keep coming up that is impacting your current relationships? Therapy is about self- discovery, personal growth and healing. I prioritize collaborating with my clients to build a trusting, nonjudgmental, laid-back relationship that allows me to provide validation, introspection, while also keeping it real and challenging you to do the deeper work that often constitutes healing.
