About me

Hello, I am so glad you are here. I’m Arlene and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I specialize in working with women, women’s issues, maternal mental health and trauma. I take an integrated approach, blending relational styles to understand your point of view, help you feel seen and heard, and collaborating on how to navigate life’s stressors. I also specialize in trauma and taking an EMDR approach.
