ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Meet Arielle

she/her

LCSW-C IN MARYLAND, DC, VIRGINIA, AND CALIFORNIA
BOARD-APPROVED CLINICAL SUPERVISOR
PSYCHEDELIC CONSULTANT & EARTH-BASED CEREMONIALIST

Welcome. My name is Arielle. I'm a multicultural, multiracial Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) born on turtle island and the original lands of the First Nation Piscataway people. I am a trauma-sensitive, liberation-based, somatic psychotherapist serving people in California, Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia.

​

I've spent the last 11 years supporting people from all walks on their healing journey. Through my work in psychiatric hospitals, substance abuse treatment centers, community based mental health, clinical research hospitals and schools, private practices, I've learned a lot about how traditional approaches to mental health and well-being that often fall short in creating holistic and sustained healing for people. This awareness sparked my passion and interest in studying more holistic, somatic, and earth-based approaches to healing rooted in ancestral healing technologies that have been around for thousands of years.

​

In my studies and trainings, I've had the honor of mentoring with leading clinicians and teachers from arouxand the world - clinical social workers, yoga therapists, holistic wellness professionals, shamanic practitioners, elders,  and earth wisdom keepers . Each has imparted so much wisdom around therapeutic frameworks, practices, and skills that attend to the whole human - the mind, the body, the emotions, and the spirit - as well as the spheres that impact our health and well being - lived experience, institutional oppression, and ancestral transmission. 

​

It is through my professional and personal journeying into these diverse, yet deeply related worlds that I was inspired to begin my practice, Sacred Space. Each container offered here is a uniquely curated sacred space for individuals to reconnect to their body, their spirit, and the living world around them and  return home to their inherent wisdom and their unique purpose and symbiotic role with our planet.

WHO DO WE SUPPORT?

We HELP BIG FEELERS AND DEEP THINKERS BREAK FREE FROM  INTERGENERATIONAL, SYSTEMiC, LIVED CYCLES of PAIN AND TRAUMA and RECLAIM their unique healing POTENTIAL

You are a highly sensitive person, healing professional, advocate, or creative who moves through our modern-day world with a depth, a sensitivity that feels unique—and sometimes it leads to overwhelm, anxiety, dissociation, or exhaustion.

​

You may be navigating the impact of past trauma, relational pain, violence, or profound loss that has felt too complex and difficult to fully name or explore

 

You may be carrying the weight of unaddressed ancestral trauma and protective patterns rooted in the  survival of your lineage and they are heavy.

​

You feel fed up with the oppressive social structures and forced  programming that keeps you stuck, and disempowered from living the life you truly want.

​

You are interested in integrating psychedelics into your healing and are seeking a grounded and expansive space where your nervous system, psyche, and spirit can be held together in a compassionate and trauma-sensitive way.

THIS SPACE MAY BE FOR YOU IF YOU ARE SEEKING SUPPORT WITH:

​​​

  • Childhood trauma or attachment wounds

  • Intergenerational, ancestral trauma

  • Complex trauma or C-PTSD

  • Nervous system dysregulation

  • Dissociation or emotional overwhelm

  • Grief and bereavement

  • Institutional oppression

  • Heightened or extra sensitivity

  • Psychedelic experiences or expanded states

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Testimonial

I want to fully recommend the work that Arielle holds for us to reconnect with our own space of shadow or pain . 

First session that I take with Arielle was a big immersion that give me a clear image of where I am in my unconscious mind , and this clarity is a miracle to reach peace and know where and how to start the work .

 I was able to see where Is the pain that i'm carrying not just on the intellect also in the physical realm .

 This grounding of the information feels like a huge extra to be able to step in acceptation and start moving from that space taking good care of this wound , and with care , love and the proper time  be able to heal it from the root. I felt really cared , hold and appreciatted with her all the time , my heart felt safe to express every single part of my emotions , my history and my present state. If I could describe in brief words my experience - healing in raw honesty , vulnerable and hold by the softness of a rose petal nest .
