Let’s do the work! I would love to help you find lasting change and improve your wellbeing. 

Hi, I’m Arlene, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) and I'm glad you're here. Are you feeling disconnected in your relationships? Struggling to make decisions that move you forward? Maybe you're noticing patterns like poor sleep, eating habits, or lack of motivation around physical health. Perhaps you’re overly self-critical, or find it hard to express your needs to others. These challenges are common—and you don’t have to navigate them alone. If you're ready to work on these areas, let’s connect.

What worked for me was focusing on what was within my control, addressing my negative thinking patterns and accepting things that I couldn’t change rather than expecting change from others.

Life is busy and can keep you distracted with the daily grind of work, family dynamics, social obligations, and personal responsibilities. I’ll work with you to prioritize your mental health by examining your perceptions, habits and relationships that may be keeping you from a fulfilling life. Using the evidence-based TEAM-CBT framework, you’ll learn the skills needed to resolve those negative patterns. Through active work, we can foster a mindset that supports growth and achieve your wellness goals.

I provide in-person sessions in Kensington, Maryland and provide telehealth sessions anywhere in the state of Maryland.
