She has the most experience supporting people managing depression and anxiety as well as those navigating life changes such as divorce, parenting transitions, and moving. Her work draws on mindfulness, expressive therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy techniques, and treatment is tailored to what best suits each client to help meet their goals.

Arianne works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, parenting issues, self-esteem difficulties, depression, coping with life changes, LGBT-related issues, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, career difficulties, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
