MA, MPA, RMHCI — Psychotherapist & Researcher
Many of the people I work with are not new to therapy. They've reflected, read, and gained insight — yet their reactions, relationships, or inner tension keep repeating.
My role is not only to understand your story, but to help your understanding begin to change how you live.
I work from a depth-oriented and integrative framework. The focus is the transition from insight to embodiment — where patterns reorganize rather than simply become clearer.
My training includes graduate study at Northwestern University, earlier academic work at Rutgers, and ongoing study in trauma research, contemplative psychology, and the integration of significant or non-ordinary experiences.
You bring the parts of yourself that already understand. Together we work toward the part that can live differently.
No protocol-first approaches. This work starts with you — your patterns, history, and the specific places where change hasn't yet landed. Structure follows understanding, not the other way around.
Rooted in psychodynamic wisdom, enriched by mindfulness, somatics, neuroscience, and existential insight. This work bridges the timeless with the evolving — moving beyond technique to something more alive.
For those shaped by systemic injustice, inherited trauma, or identity-based harm, insight alone often isn't enough. The mind may understand what happened, while the body and relationships continue to organize around it. This work meets both.
Not surface-level positivity, but the steadiness that comes when insight begins to change how you live. A quieter confidence — reactions slowing, choices widening, and a growing sense of being able to meet life as it happens.
I'm a clinician, researcher, and someone who has done — and continues to do — this work from the inside. I don't ask you to go anywhere I haven't been willing to go myself. That matters.

Learn More →— LM"Therapy hasn't given me all the answers — and honestly, I'm okay with that now. What it gave me was a relationship where I can wonder out loud, where I don't have to know who I am all the time. Just being able to ask the questions and have someone stay present... that changed things."
— JP"I didn't even know I was performing... until I wasn't. I used to come in with polished insights, the 'right' answers. But somewhere along the way, I just let myself be confused, tired, sometimes angry... And Ari didn't ask me to clean it up. That's when I started to heal."
— AR"I expected worksheets, homework, something more... structured? But instead, it felt like I had room to just be without performing. No pressure to explain everything at once. Just silence, curiosity, and safety. I didn't know how much I needed that."
