About Ariana: Your California Therapist
I'm a bilingual trauma-informed therapist (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor #18289) based in San Diego ,California. Hablo Español.
​
I provide therapy services in-person and telehealth services for clients residing in California. My work is rooted from a place of hope for those seeking a nonjudgmental space. As someone who entered therapy and left feeling unseen, I know how discouraging it can be. I believe that a therapeutic relationship is powerful and, therefore, finding someone who you connect is important.
​
I support individuals and couples who have experienced childhood harm and trauma, helping them heal and understand how those experiences can continue to shape their lives and relationships today. Through a compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed approach, I guide clients in building healthier coping strategies, fostering self-trust, and creating more fulfilling connections.
​
My approach is to ensure you feel seen and understood while we work on exploring patterns, thoughts, and beliefs that are hindering your quality of life. I'm trained in CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) and Attachment-Based Therapy. Therapy can be a lifelong journey as life evolves or for specific periods that necessitate support. ​​​
