It is an honor to hold someone's heart as they journey through healing and unfold into the individual they desire to be. Traumas, attachment trauma, and life challenges such as loss, depression and anxiety can leave us feeling empty, lost and wondering if life will ever improve. Finding the right prescription of modalities is vital for healing.

It is my professional philosophy that it is the therapist's responsibility to provide multiple processes from which a client can gain healing and healthy perspectives.

It is my professional philosophy that it is the therapist's responsibility to provide multiple processes from which a client can gain healing and healthy perspectives. I have made it a point to gain skills from several modalities and continue on a regular basis to add to my skillset.

First session

In the first session we will explore what you are hoping to achieve, dive into your history, your family history and consider the assessment results. We will look at how all of this is culminating into the challenges you are facing that led you to therapy.

Strengths

Gaining trust and building a therapeutic relationship should be at the core, in my opinion of the therapy session. It is in the trusting relationship that an individual feels safe to share, to gain insight, and to move through pain and find healing.

Ideal clients

I have worked with young children and parents, adolescents, and adults, as well as family sessions. I am thoroughly trained in trauma techniques to help those who are challenged with attachment trauma, compound trauma, occupational trauma and other issues that create trauma.

Treatment methods

Attachment-based

Attachment is at the heart of all the modalities I utilize to help individuals heal and grow. We are creatures of attachment with core needs of feeling seen, safe and heard. When we feel heard, we then feel seen and safe. in my opinion, helping clients understand how their childhood interacts in their present is a vital component to most therapeutic encounters.

I feel like Renee understands what I am going through and is there to help guide me through it. She is warm and gently draws things out and therefore, I feel I can open up to her. I look forward to more sessions.

I've been working with Renee for some time now and I always enter our sessions knowing I can say anything and trust her without hesitation. She is always ready to listen without judgement, helps me reframe my thoughts, and understands exactly what it is I need from our sessions even if I don't. Renee has gotten me through some great times, some hard times, and has even gotten me through some pretty dark moments too. I know she always has my best interest at heart. I'd recommend her to anyone!
