Counseling is a critical part of the healing process. Ariana has committed to working with survivors and their loved ones to support healing, understanding, and thriving.

She holds a Bachelor of Social Work from Salisbury University in Maryland and is currently pursuing her MSW in their Masters of Social Work program.

Ariana has served as a Safe Helpline Staffer at the Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network's (RAINN) National Sexual Assault Hotline, where she provided crisis intervention, safety planning,  and accurate services and resources to meet the needs of each individual. 

She is a retired military member who, during her 10 illustrious years in the United States Navy, volunteered her time to serve as a Sexual Assault Prevention & Response (SAPR) Victim Advocate. Her life experiences, as well as those of her military peers, sparked the passion that continues to drive her desire to advocate for the rights of the victims of sexual assault, abuse, and harassment. While in the military, she had the opportunity to travel the world and experience other cultures and ways of life. This has shaped her openness and love for helping others, which continues to grow every day.
