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 the mental health care industry, I've often come face to face with the reality that traditional approaches to mental health and well-being often fall short in creating holistic, embodied, 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 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 around the world - clinical social workers, somatic therapists, 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 inspired me to begin my practice, Sacred Space. Each container offered here is a uniquely curated sacred space for individuals to reconnect to their body, their mind, their spirit and the living world around them, and return home to the inherently wise vital life force that lives within to authentically embody their unique purpose and symbiotic role with our planet.
WHO DO I Work with?
I help highly self-aware individuals reclaim their inherent body-based intelligence to heal from stress and TRAUMA to live more authentic, connected, and aligned lives.
You are a highly intelligent person, healing professional, advocate, or creative who moves through our world with a depth of self awareness that feels unique—but sometimes leads to loneliness and isolation.
You may be experiencing fear, anxiety, or worry, and or sadness, depression, or the feeling of being stuck without fully understanding where they come from or why.
You may be navigating the impact of past childhood trauma, relational pain, sexual violence, or profound loss that continues to impact your body and your life in challenging ways.
You may be carrying the weight of trauma or protective patterns rooted in the survival of your parents, grand parents, or ancestors and the weight of it is heavy.
You feel fed up with therapy that doesn't acknowledge and unpack the impact of colonialism, patriarchy, and oppressive social structures on your experience of safety, empowerment, and freedom
You are burnt out by traditional talk therapy that has offered you the "why" you feel the way that you do, but has left you with a ever looming question of "how" to heal it what you have uncovered.
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.
