Adolescent (14+) & Adult Therapist

As a Therapist, I focus on achieving wellness through supported exploration of mind and body. I specialize in working with addiction, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I enjoy working with individuals going through big life changes and transitions, and helping people make positive changes to improve the quality of their life. Wellness promotes healthy and informed decision-making, leading to more satisfying results. I am here to support your growth. You deserve to be heard. Past trauma can often be an obstacle to positive change. Trauma can keep us in a pattern of decision-making, motivated by fear and anxiety, leading to dissatisfaction. My goal is to help identify how past traumas show up in present life. In a warm and inviting environment, we can explore your strengths and find wellness through healing.

I welcome clients with varying issues. I have a background in teaching and personal health training and a passion for counseling. I am here to create a therapeutic relationship with adults and adolescents to identify and pursue goals. Adriane's clinical supervisors are Christina Sauers and Susie Brookman

When we develop increased awareness of self and others, we learn how to sit with uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, and sensations, receive their messages, and make beneficial strides towards healing.
