Hi there, I'm Marlene!
My experience includes working with people who have presented with anxiety, life transitions, depression, relationship challenges, and trauma. As a biracial therapist of African-American and Japanese ancestry, I also strive to bring increased insight and understanding to those addressing issues related to (bi)racial identity, race, and culture.
My focus
I work with individuals on issues including anxiety, coping skills, cultural stress, depression, job stress, life transitions, racial identity, self-esteem, divorce, grief, relationship issues, and stress.
My approach
My approach is strength-based, focusing on your strengths, abilities, and capabilities. Together, we explore past or present circumstances that have been impactful and distressing. We then work collaboratively to establish goals and a pathway forward.
