About Arda

Yo Hablo Espanol!! Now Accepting New Clients! I became a therapist because I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by your own mind—to feel like no one quite understands what you're going through. My clients often come to me feeling stuck, misunderstood, or exhausted from trying to “hold it all together.” They’re strong, insightful, and ready for change—but they need a space where they can be fully seen and supported. That’s what I offer: a safe, compassionate environment where we can explore your experiences together, without judgment.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and trauma-informed care. Whether you're seeking to manage mood swings, reduce compulsions, or reclaim your life after trauma, I tailor our work to your unique needs and goals.

What do I want for you? I want you to feel empowered—to understand your mind, to trust your inner strength, and to build a life that feels meaningful and manageable. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you; it’s about helping you discover the tools and insights you already carry within. If you're ready to take the next step, I’m here to walk beside you.
