Ariel completed her Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Minnesota State University Moorhead. She has a very strong passion for working with individuals struggling with eating disorders. Ariel feels no one should have to suffer with their eating disorder alone and she strongly believes everyone deserves to live a life of recovery and food freedom. Ariel hopes to offer individuals a safe space with validation, support, and compassion.
She approaches therapy from a person-centered and CBT lens. Each individual is unique; therefore, their treatment should be unique to them. She also feels very strongly of the mind-body connection, working to help individuals understand the impact their cognitions have on their behavior and emotions, and vice versa.
In her free time, you can find Ariel watching the Great British Baking Show, going for tandem bike rides with her husband, playing/walking with her dog, hanging out with her son, or being on a lake somewhere.
