Renee takes a holistic, strength-based approach and values compassion, empathy and humor in the therapeutic alliance. Renee prefers to be straightforward, in addition to using evidence-based approaches that will challenge and encourage you to think about yourself honestly. As a dedicated professional, Renee’s role is to help you develop trust in yourself and support your autonomy while strengthening your self-concept by looking inside yourself for the answers you seek to promote change, healing and empowerment.

With nine years of counseling experience with adults and adolescents, and nineteen years of experience in the counseling field, Renee has seen a wide range of mental health diagnoses, in different treatment modalities which has allowed her to experience therapeutic relationships with culturally diverse populations, fostering cultural humility. This Fall, she will obtain her graduate degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University.

Renee’s goal is to create a safe collaborative environment where we can work together to build coping strategies, enhance resilience and make meaningful changes that improve your quality of life.
