More about Renee
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Board Certified and Licensed Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with over 20 years of professional experience in the mental health field.
My counseling style is non-judgmental, collaborative, and compassionate. I provide a safe environment in therapy so that you are able to truly share what is on your mind.
I specialize in helping individuals break free from fears, anxiety and stress that hold them back. These fears are often rooted in trauma, loss and other events. They tend to limit the ability to process emotionally difficult information.
One of the ways I treat these symptoms is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as part of an overall treatment strategy. I often combine other methods such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT Dialectical Behavior
Therapy), and other evidence based practices to ensure the best outcomes.
It’s my honor to share this important time in your life. I look forward to meeting you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Renée listens and understands. I appreciate having the support during the process.
Rene is amazing! The time and compassion she has shown me during my time of much grief has helped loads. Thank you, always!
I went from being fed up of therapists to wanting to be in therapy with Renee forever because she is the first person who has given me the type of support and comfort I had been craving. She is so kind, warmhearted and patient with me and even makes a point of checking in on me if I haven’t contacted her in a short while. My healing journey has been amazing under her guidance and though it might take years, knowing Renee is my travel companion makes it worth it.
Renee provides a in depth knowledge to my thought processes. I feel very comfortable and safe during our conversations. Thank you Renee for helping me work on moving forward.
I have greatly enjoyed working with her and opening my mind to different thought processes!
Renee is an absolute amazing therapist. I've had a rough track record with therapists for the most part so I was hesitant at first but Renee put all my doubts and worries to rest right away. She is an amazing therapist who has worked diligently with me to accomplish so much healing, growth, and peace in such a short while. I put off handling the wounds of my past for 10+ years and since working with her have healed and found closure with so much in a short period of time. It feels amazing!!
Renee is compassion, considerate, insightful and caring. She's a lifesaver.
Renee is a wonderful listener. I didn't know how much I needed a kind word or the validation while processing my grief. Thank you Renee!
I’ve just started working with Renee and she is very kind and insightful. I look forward to continuing our sessions.
Renee is the best counselor I have ever had and my life is better because of our sessions
Renee has been a huge help and has guided me in finding clarity through very painful times in my life.
The things I learned in my time with Renee I will continue to use the rest of my life.
Renee is a phenomenal counselor. She has really been able to help me and I am more than grateful. I’m not sure where I would be in life if I hadn’t been able to talk with her. I am so lucky. She truly cares and listens and that’s more than I could ever ask for.
Renee is wonderful. She is making a huge difference in my life. She understands my needs and helps me to understand my emotions.
Renee is great, very kind & understanding. I am grateful that I connected with her.
Even though I haven’t been able to schedule a time with Renee for a therapy session she has been extremely responsive and makes sure to send me over material to read to help with my stress. She has sent me multiple exercises to try.
