About me

Arianna has lived in Amsterdam for two years, and has been in the Netherlands for four. She welcomes ex-pats to her practice, and can personally relate to the "fish out of water" experience.

In her time off from work, Arianna can be found hiking, doing or teaching yoga, hanging out with her son, or flying on her trapeze. Her ongoing aerialist training also gives her special insight into elite athletics, visualization, and performance mindset.

I speak:

English

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.
Solution-focused therapyRecommended for those who want quick, practical solutions to their problems without focusing too much time on the past.

Arianna earned a masters degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and also has a Masters of Social Work degree from California State University, Los Angeles. She believes there isn’t just one right tool for the job, so she takes an eclectic approach to mental health treatment, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solutions-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, meditation, re-framing, narrative therapy, and somatic work.

Additionally, Arianna’s experience growing up in a small town in the American South gave her first-hand insight and experience into the impact of bullying, repression, reputation-based culture, tribalism, and othering. She works extensively with clients who have lived these things as well, from all over the world.

Arianna is happy to meet with clients 1-on-1 via teletherapy. In-person sessions can be arranged, as needed.
