Do you belong everywhere and nowhere? Do you question gender, sexuality & relationship norms? Are you struggling to feel connected or like you belong? Are you struggling with stress and pressure? Are you seeking an affirming, collaborative space to be seen, validated, problem-solve & ultimately heal? You are in the right place. I’m Ariel – a multi-ethnic, queer woman living between and amongst cultures while carving my own path to healing. I specialize in multicultural identity issues, anxiety, depression, intergenerational & other trauma, migration, eating disorders, suicide/self-harm, LGBTQIA+ needs and alternative relationship styles.
