I am a family and marriage therapist with over 20 years of experience. I have experience in working with singles, married couples, teens and the elderly. I am here to help you, knowing that reaching out for help is not always easy. I am an open-ended listener who gives you the opportunity to express yourself in a nonjudgmental environment. I have helped many get through their trials and tribulations. My idea of therapy is not to erase what you've been through but, to offer an environment where you can express any and all experiences and voice how you can move forward. My goal is to help you grow in all aspects of life, it's not always easy being vulnerable which is why I offer my support and aid in all experiences that you have and will go through.

Written on Oct 11, 2022 after therapy with Darlene for 3 weeks on issues concerning grief, and coping with life changes
I always thought that therapy was not for me, I have spent years trying to figure out my thoughts on my own telling everyone and anyone everything about me. Darlene gives me a safe space to talk about my life and my concerns and always gives me solutions to anything that I am dealing with. I have made so much progress in a short amount of time; the sessions I have had carry me throughout my day to day life and I have found new ways to cope that I didn’t even know existed. I know love therapy, it’s hard but I know I am growing each and everyday. She is patient and understanding, and makes you feel comfortable when talking with her.
