I have never had a consistent therapist or someone that would stay around as much and Marlene was able to help me so much through my hard times and was able to help me so much!
I really enjoy working with Marlene. She is incredibly attentive and always takes the time to check in with me to understand my needs and how she can best assist. Her methods have made a significant difference, and I’m truly grateful for the help she’s provided.

I have never had a consistent therapist or someone that would stay around as much and Marlene was able to help me so much through my hard times and was able to help me so much!
I really enjoy working with Marlene. She is incredibly attentive and always takes the time to check in with me to understand my needs and how she can best assist. Her methods have made a significant difference, and I’m truly grateful for the help she’s provided.
Marlene has helped me improve my mental health through practices/exercises in session, along with tools and resources that she shares for usage outside of the sessions. She is always prepared, on time, and professional. She is also very honest and authentic when it comes to speaking about my personal challenges, and always reminds me of how I am capable of getting through life's difficult moments in healthy, compassionate, and mindful ways.
Marlene has been amazing and has helped me gain a deeper understanding about what I can do to improve my mental health while fostering a relationship that feels professional and comfortable.
Marlene is very understanding, she helps me to focus in on how I'm feeling and find solutions for how to cope. She also shares about herself which makes me more comfortable talking about difficult topics and is non judgemental.
Marlene is a superb listener who picks up on nuance and detail and follows up on what she observes and hears in our couples therapy, meaning that she consistently asks each of us for clarifications and explanations in our sessions. She brings a wealth of knowledge into her work with us, recommending appropriate and useful resources. I feel that she cares about us as a couple, as people, and I am always left feeling that she takes our sessions to heart and has our well-being front and center. She has taken critique well and has treated us with great respect. For me she has been the most competent and effective therapist (of many over a few decades) I have worked with. I'm so pleased that she is working with my partner and me.
Marlene is easy to open up to. I like that she challenges me & forces me to dig into past traumas...without actually forcing me to do so, hehe! I've learned so much about myself in such a short amount of time, I am slowly healing day by day thanks to her!
