Arlene was born and raised in San Marcos Texas and moved to North Idaho in 2002. She received her Master’s in Social Work in 2015, from Boise State University. She has been in Sandpoint for almost 19 years and feels strongly connected to this community.
Arlene’s initial interests involved working with adolescents for over 15 years in inpatient and outpatient settings, including Wilderness Therapy and as a CBRS (community-based rehabilitation services) provider.
Today as a counselor, she is grateful for being in the position of helping people of all ages. She works with individuals and families through life challenges, depression, anxiety, social struggles, Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, trauma, severe, persistent mental disorders, and grief. She utilizes various therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused approach, plays therapy models, and encourages the use of a customized self-care plan. Her specialty is her compassion for helping people while using a combination of client-centered, strength-based, and holistic approaches with clients.
Arlene enjoys most activities while outdoors but especially tennis, biking, pickleball, skiing, and being on the lake with family and friends.
