As a photographer and a therapist, I help my clients navigate life through different mediums.

Ariel is originally from North Carolina. After living for almost a decade out West, she missed the soft air, warm greens, and changing seasons, and convinced her husband to move back with her to the mountains.  Her pronouns are she/her/hers.

Ariel loves working with a variety of folx, but specializes in couples work, including healing from affairs, or those contemplating separation. She also has extensive training and experience working with infertility challenges, reproductive trauma, perinatal mood and anxiety issues, and people going through major life-transitions. She offers intensives, for those couples who are ready to really dive in, and do not want to be limited by the time constraints of traditional sessions.

Ariel’s work is largely shaped through an anti-racist/anti-oppression lens, and this often factors into sessions. She is comfortable with and experienced in working with BIPOC (Black Indigenous, People of Color)/people of the global majority, LGBTQI folx, and folx of any gender expression. She continues to work on her own anti-racist and decolonizing journey. She also uses humor, when appropriate, and is never afraid to cry with a client.

Ariel is also an international professional photographer, specializing in a documentary style for families, newborn/early childhood, retreat and event photography, and headshots and business photography. For both photography & counseling, she offers equity based spots.
