About Ariel

I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist, vocal coach, and performing artist. I work with individuals, couples, children and teens exploring relationships, grief, life transitions, creativity, and personal growth.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and informed by depth psychology and person-centered therapy. Together, we explore your patterns and the different parts of you, helping you understand yourself with more curiosity and compassion. My work also welcomes imagination and creative expression.

I have spent the last twenty-five years as a vocal coach, songwriter, and performing artist. The deeply personal work of vocal coaching inspired me to explore the psychology of helping people find their voice and connect with their creativity and joy.

This led me to graduate studies in counseling psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute, where my research focused on voicework (singing and songwriting) in psychotherapy. My clinical experience includes psychodynamic therapy, hospice grief support, and work with teens in therapeutic school settings.

Today, I bring a reflective and creative perspective to psychotherapy, with room for mindfulness, music, and expressive practices alongside conversation. I also continue to offer vocal coaching and singing circles through Get Vocal.

You’re welcome to come with questions, a particular concern, or simply a wish to understand yourself better. If you’re considering working together, I’d be happy to connect for a brief consultation.
