Beginning therapy is a powerful step toward change, healing, and growth. Whether you're navigating anxiety, facing a life transition, or simply feeling stuck, therapy offers a space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. It’s not just about addressing what’s difficult—it's about discovering what’s possible.
At the heart of therapy is self-exploration. Through this process, you gain deeper insight into who you are, how you relate to others, and what may be holding you back. By increasing self-awareness, you can begin to make intentional choices instead of reacting from old habits or fear.
Therapy also helps build confidence and resilience. As you develop new coping strategies and learn to navigate challenges more effectively, you strengthen your ability to face life’s ups and downs with greater stability and self-assurance. Over time, many people find they’re not only surviving, but actively creating a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.
Change is rarely easy, but it is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone. Therapy can be the foundation for lasting growth, clarity, and a renewed connection to yourself and your goals.
My Services
Individual Therapy
Ages 5 and up
Individual therapy provides a supportive, one-on-one space to explore challenges, gain insight, and develop effective coping strategies. In my practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)—an evidence-based approach that helps individuals identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, emotional responses, and behaviors that may be contributing to distress.
Sessions are 50 minutes in length and offered via secure teletherapy, allowing you to access care from the comfort and convenience of your own space. Whether you're navigating anxiety, stress or a life transition, CBT offers practical tools that can lead to meaningful, lasting change.
During our work together, we will:
Clarify your goals and what you would like to change
Identify negative thought patterns and behavior cycles
Develop healthier, more adaptive ways of thinking and responding
Practice skills and strategies to use in daily life
Monitor progress and adjust goals as needed
Teletherapy allows for flexibility while maintaining the structure and depth of traditional therapy. It’s a collaborative process—centered on your needs, at your pace—with the goal of helping you feel more empowered, resilient, and in control.
Parenting Support
Rather than focusing solely on the child, parenting therapy equips caregivers with insight, strategies, and confidence to respond more effectively to their child’s emotional and behavioral needs. Parenting therapy is a powerful tool for supporting children struggling with issues such as:
Generalized anxiety
Social anxiety
Separation anxiety
Tantrums/Power Struggles
School Refusal
Rigidity in thinking
Perfectionism
Executive Functioning
Sleep struggles
Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and collaborative parent coaching, we work together to
Understand the root causes of your child’s behavior
Learn tools to manage anxiety-driven reactions
Reduce power struggles and emotional outbursts
Foster flexibility, independence, and resilience
Improve emotional regulation and executive functioning skills
Executive Function Coaching
Executive Function Coaching supports individuals and students in developing the mental skills needed for professional and academic success.
The Executive Functions are:
Planning – The ability to create a roadmap to reach a goal or complete a task.
Organization – The ability to keep track of information, materials, and responsibilities in a structured way.
Time Management – The ability to estimate how much time tasks will take and use time effectively.
Task Initiation – The ability to begin tasks promptly without excessive procrastination.
Working Memory – The capacity to hold and manipulate information in your mind over short periods.
Metacognition – The ability to think about your own thinking, self-monitor, and evaluate how you're doing.
Response Inhibition – The ability to think before acting and resist impulsive behaviors.
Emotional Control – The ability to manage emotional responses to situations or frustration.
Sustained Attention – The ability to maintain focus and effort over time, especially on non-preferred tasks.
Flexibility – The ability to adapt to new situations, shift thinking, or adjust when plans change.
Goal-Directed Persistence – The capacity to stay motivated and follow through on goals, despite obstacles or distractions.
The ultimate goal is to empower students to take ownership of their learning, build resilience, and develop habits that support long-term success in and out of school.
Executive Function Coaching is skills-based. It focuses on helping your child build practical tools to manage daily tasks like homework, time management, organization, and follow-through. Coaching complements therapy, especially for kids with ADHD, anxiety, learning differences, or executive function challenges.
We will work on:
Breaking down large tasks into manageable steps
Creating systems for organization and time tracking
Building routines and tools to manage distractions and procrastination
Developing self-awareness and accountability
Over time, we build not just better grades or cleaner backpacks, but also confidence, resilience, and ownership over their learning and responsibilities.
More About Arielle’s Work with Families and SPACE
In addition to my work with individuals, I have a special interest in working with parents of children with anxiety and executive functioning issues. Parenting an anxious child can feel overwhelming, isolating, and emotionally exhausting. As a therapist, I often hear from parents who are walking on eggshells. unsure how to handle tantrums, manage school refusal, soothe separation anxiety, or respond to their child’s intense need for perfection. These behaviors can take a toll on the entire family and leave parents feeling powerless.
Therapy offers a space for parents to better understand the root of their child’s anxiety and learn effective, compassionate strategies to respond. Through parent coaching, I help parents shift from feeling reactive to feeling confident and grounded. Together, we work on setting clear boundaries, reducing accommodations that reinforce anxiety, and building emotional resilience—for both the child and the parent. With the right tools and support, parents can feel more empowered to guide their child through anxious moments and foster lasting growth.
As part of my commitment to collaborative care, I also work closely with families and schools in navigating the individualized education plan (IEP) process. I believe in empowering students and parents through advocacy, clear communication, and thoughtful accommodations that support long-term success both academically and emotionally. This work reflects a deep passion of mine—helping children and teens thrive in and outside of the classroom.
Whether working with adolescents or adults, I bring warmth, insight, and a collaborative spirit to every therapeutic relationship, helping clients build resilience, self-awareness, and the tools they need to lead more grounded, fulfilling lives.
About Arielle
I’m a licensed psychotherapist with a deep passion for supporting individuals and families as they work toward healing, growth, and greater self-understanding. I earned my Master’s degree from New York University’s Silver School of Social Work in 2014, where I developed a strong foundation in clinical practice and a commitment to providing compassionate, evidence-based care.
After graduating, I completed advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) through the Beck Institute, which continues to inform much of my work today. My early clinical experience was at Timberline Knolls, a premier residential treatment center for women in Lemont, IL. During my time there, I had the opportunity to work with women struggling with eating disorders, mood disorders, and trauma-related conditions—work that deeply shaped my therapeutic approach and reinforced my belief in each person’s capacity to heal.
In 2016, I opened my private practice to create a space where I could work more closely and flexibly with individuals and families. I’m especially passionate about building strong therapeutic relationships rooted in trust, collaboration, and respect. My style is warm, direct, and supportive, and I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches to meet each client’s unique needs. In recognition of my work with children and families, I was honored to be voted a New Jersey Top Kids Doc in both 2016 and 2017.
I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients through both challenges and breakthroughs, and I remain committed to ongoing learning and growth as a clinician.

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients/clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a good faith estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical test, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a good faith estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical services or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a good faith estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your good faith estimate you can dispute the bill. Make sure to have a copy or picture of your good faith estimate.
