Therapy with Renèe

Thank you for being here. I am Renèe, an LMFT and LPC with experience guiding individuals, couples, and families through grief, trauma, and relationship struggles. My approach is compassionate and collaborative—I can be both directive and nurturing—helping you feel supported, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.

I focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences, process challenges, and work toward goals that feel meaningful to you. Together, we’ll tailor therapy to your unique needs and strengths.

Navigating Life’s Challenges and Transitions

Just as roots shape the growth of a tree, our personal histories and family experiences shape who we are. Messages we receive—or trauma passed down through generations—can surface later in life, creating distress in our relationships and within ourselves. Experiencing trauma, loss, or major life stressors—whether personally or within your family—can feel overwhelming and destabilizing.

My goal is to help you explore and process these experiences, manage intense emotions, and develop practical strategies to cope effectively. Together, we’ll examine how your roots influence your patterns, fostering resilience, boundaries, and supporting meaningful growth as an individual and within your relationships.

In addition to individual therapy, I am passionate about helping couples and families navigate high-conflict situations and build lasting cohesion. My focus is on supporting you to not just improve, but thrive in your relationships by strengthening communication, resolving conflicts, reducing defensiveness, and fostering deeper connection.

With extensive training in systems work, narcissistic abuse, couples and family therapy, and the Gottman Method, I bring a deep understanding of family and relational dynamics. I am also Level One and Level Two EMDR trained, working from a trauma-informed perspective. I am an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community and embrace people of all cultures, identities, sexualities, and worldviews.
