About Renee

She focuses on helping people who are struggling with relationship problems, trauma, depression, anxiety, and issues with concentration and focus. Renee aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for each person she sees.
Renee uses a straightforward approach in sessions. She listens closely and tailors conversations to the concerns you bring.
How Renee works
Together she and the client build a plan that fits real life and day-to-day needs. Many people come for help with stress, grief, sleep disturbances, parenting strain, or workplace worries. Renee also supports those dealing with anger, low self-esteem, bipolar concerns, and the emotional fallout of divorce or infidelity.
Seasonal mood shifts and compassion fatigue are among the other areas she addresses. Her practice includes an emphasis on clearer communication and on managing symptoms linked to trauma and post-traumatic stress. She applies cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Sessions move at a practical pace with concrete steps to try between meetings. Renee sees each person as unique and adapts treatment to fit personal goals. She encourages small, steady changes and checks progress along the way.
Taking the first step is often hard, and she acknowledges courage when people begin this work.

Online support options
CBT-informed care and flexible online sessions
Renee works with cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change feelings. CBT is often helpful for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and stress-related difficulties.She also draws on practical problem-solving to address relationship challenges, communication problems, workplace stress, and parenting strain. This approach breaks problems into manageable steps and tests small changes to see what helps.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Renee will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands, then shape the methods used in therapy. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets you use visual cues, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, and text or chat work well for quick check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or other commitments.
