Hi there, I'm Arlene!
Welcome to my profile! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. I work with kids and adults facing anxiety, trauma, depression, and learning differences like ADHD and autism. With a background in both schools and mental health clinics, I bring a friendly, down-to-earth approach to help you feel supported and understood.
My focus
Are you or your child feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or the challenges that come with ADHD or autism? I work with both kids and adults who are navigating tough emotions, life transitions, and struggles with focus, self-esteem, or day-to-day stress, or you’re working through past trauma or learning new ways to manage anxious thoughts.
My approach
My approach is warm, respectful, and I make sure you feel heard and understood. I believe therapy works best when it’s a team effort—you’re in the driver’s seat, and I’m here to support you as you work toward the changes you want to see. I use CBT to help shift negative thought patterns into more positive ones, which improves how you feel and act.
