Meet Arlene
I am interested in the person sitting right in front of me—what you are going through today, what shaped your path to get here, and what may still be waiting to be understood. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, notice connections, and stay curious when things do not yet make sense.
You matter far more to me than any model of therapy.
When we are in the room together, I am active and fully engaged. Our time might include serious conversation, sitting with uncertainty, walking through grief, sharing a laugh, or exploring spiritual and unusual experiences that are difficult to put into words.
Supportive therapy has real value, and there are times when that is exactly what we need to do. Most often, our work is directed toward what lies beneath a problem—understanding what needs to change and what may help that change occur.
My own therapy, spiritual experiences, and personal growth have deeply shaped the way I understand this work. I respect your beliefs, your values, and your boundaries. It is never my place to decide who you should become or to take credit for the steps you take.
The work belongs to you, and so do the successes.
For me, your inner life is sacred ground.
For many of us, our greatest achievement
is not measured by what we have accomplished
but by what we have overcome.

How I Help
I am deeply interested not only in what is happening in your life today, but in what has shaped it—past experiences, beliefs, habits and patterns, relationships, and the ways your brain and nervous system have learned to respond and protect you.
I bring two worlds together in the way I help you. I am classically trained, with decades of clinical experience and training in psychological theory, neuropsychology, trauma, hypnotherapy, and transpersonal therapy. I am also deeply intuitive and comfortable working with spirituality, consciousness, meaning, and experiences that do not fit neatly within conventional psychological language.
I do not experience science and spirit as competing ways of understanding you. They offer different ways of understanding the whole person. I use both according to what you need and what you are comfortable with.
My clinical training helps me understand what I am seeing. My intuition often helps me notice connections, patterns, or meanings that may not yet be obvious. I use that intuition actively—I bring what I notice into our conversation and check it with you to see whether it fits.
Through it all, you guide our direction. You do not have to know what kind of therapy you need before we begin. I listen, ask thoughtful questions, look for what may be underneath what is happening, and continue thinking with you as we learn more.
I rarely only listen.
Sometimes our sessions are primarily conversation. At other times, we may work with hypnotherapy, bodily responses, imagery, dreams, or spiritual experiences—whatever may help us reach places that ordinary conversation cannot easily reach.
Are we a good fit?
