Sometimes the hardest thing to lose isn't your way—it's your trust in yourself.

Maybe you're exhausted from overthinking every decision, carrying everyone else's expectations, or feeling like you should be able to handle everything on your own. Maybe life has knocked you around a bit, and now you're tired of feeling like you're just getting through the day instead of actually living it.

Therapy with me is a place to bring the messy, complicated, sometimes ridiculous parts of being human—the overthinking, the stress, the doubts, and the moments where you're just trying to figure out how to do this whole life thing. We'll have honest conversations, laugh when we can, and work together toward meaningful change.

I'm Arianna Killebrew, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) trained in EMDR and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I don't believe therapy should be a one-size-fits-all process. People are too unique for that. We'll figure out what actually fits you, because you're a person—not a problem to solve.

My background includes work in domestic violence shelters, schools, outpatient mental health, and legal and child welfare systems. Across these settings, I've sat with people through some of life's hardest moments and learned that people are rarely "too much" or "too complicated"—they're often carrying more than anyone realizes.

I don't just sit back and listen. I pay attention to the little things—the things you brush off, the things you've normalized, and the moments where you stop trusting yourself.

Understanding yourself is important, but I don't want therapy to stop there. I want you to leave trusting yourself more—feeling more confident in your choices and your ability to handle whatever life throws your way.

You don't have to walk into therapy knowing what to say or having everything figured out. You just have to show up as you are. We'll take it from there.

Therapy should feel human. Because honestly? Being a person is complicated. No perfect answers, no rehearsed explanations, no pretending you have it all together. You can show up with the messy thoughts, contradictions, and “I don’t even know where to start” moments—I’m in it with you.

We’ll have honest conversations, laugh when life feels absurd, and talk about the things that are hard to say out loud. I’ll ask questions, share what I’m noticing, and help you sort through the chaos without losing sight of yourself.

Therapy with me is about more than understanding yourself—it’s about learning how to support yourself when life gets hard. We’ll find tools that fit you, practice new ways of handling what comes up, and work toward changes that carry into your everyday life.

In our first session, we’ll start wherever you are. Maybe you’ll know exactly what you want to talk about, maybe you’ll sit down and say, “I don’t even know where to start.” Both are completely okay. We’ll figure it out from there.

We’ll talk about what you’re hoping to get from therapy, what’s been feeling stuck, and what kind of support would actually make a difference. My goal isn’t for you to leave with a list of things you need to fix overnight—it’s for you to leave feeling a little more clear about what comes next.

You don’t need to prepare anything ahead of time. Just show up as you are, and we’ll figure out the next step together.
