Before becoming a therapist, Marlena spent years as a high school teacher and college professor, where she guided individuals through the kind of deep questioning that leads to real transformation. She helped students challenge their perspectives while discovering their own paths forward.

Whether clients seek solution-focused, fast-acting relief or a space for deeper exploration and long-term growth, she tailors therapy to meet their unique concerns and goals. She believes healing isn’t about forcing change, nor is it about avoiding discomfort—it’s about learning to approach challenges with courage and a willingness to grow. With a personality that is both direct and genuine, Marlena helps clients uncover what truly matters to them and build lives aligned with their values.
