Feeling anxious or depressed is a reasonable reaction to the unreasonable levels of stress that young people deal with. My work is aimed at helping you make sense of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I'm not here to tell you that you need to change. You might have behaviors you want to change, and I will support and assist for sure, but it's important that you know that your core self is whole and loveable, just the way you are. The work in therapy is about going from knowing that to believing it in your bones.

Most of us go through difficult periods in our lives where we feel overwhelmed, alone, and confused. Sometimes, inevitable events in life, even happy ones, like starting a relationship, going off to college, or retirement, expose the wounds and memories from a recent or distant past that make the current situation painful and unbearable. While we survive those situations and adapt to the new realities of our circumstances, psychotherapy, specifically psychodynamic psychotherapy uses these moments as opportunities for a path for self-discovery and a chance to reevaluate our priorities and find meaning and purpose in our lives.

Greetings! My name is Renee and I'm a licensed clinical social worker. We spend too much time feeling as though we're not good enough or can't achieve our dreams. How we think about ourselves and our environment directly determines how we feel. As a therapist I have had the opportunity to work with clients looking for guidance and relief in many areas such as: anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, ADHD symptoms, life transitions, body dysmorphia and gender dysphoria. Please contact me for a 15 min free consultation to see if we are a good fit. I will get back to you within 24 hours.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of experience helping clients work through and heal from with a wide variety of issues including anxiety, depression, PTSD, chronic illness, substance use, harm reduction, women’s health, sexual & reproductive health, the LGBTQIA+ community and gender-affirming care. During my many years in community mental health and medical settings, I gained specific expertise in trauma work, sexual and gender identity, and the use of a social justice framework. I work closely with clients to create a collaborative, patient-lead treatment plan. As a provider

I specialize in working with children, families, couples, and individual adults of all ages, addressing a variety of issues including ADHD, behavioral disruption, developmental concerns, anxiety, trauma, depression, parenting, relationship challenges, and school/career support.

Asking for help can be one of the most difficult and even scariest thing for you to do. But therapy doesn't have to be so daunting nor does it have to take years for you to feel better. The therapy space should feel safe and empowering in order for you to be able to share, to learn, to consider a different perspective, to gain insight, to process your experiences, to start healing your emotional wounds, and to grow. You are not alone in feeling lost, helpless, angry, or confused. WE ALL feel this way at some point in, or about some areas of, our lives. A burden shared is a burden less heavy.

I enjoy helping clients of all ages gain insight into their internal processes and assisting them to improve their relationships and quality of life. I offer compassionate and effective psychotherapy in a confidential, non-judgmental environment. Patients share and explore their thoughts and feelings, and together we collaborate toward achieving treatment goals. True change comes when we can better understand the reasons behind our actions. I find it a privilege to work with children, couples, families, and individuals, and feel fortunate that my patients have trusted and shared their experiences with me over many years in practice.

My primary goal is to become useless to you as quickly as possible. That's not a typo; I want to help you make positive changes so that you no longer need to come see me. Whether you're struggling with your relationship, feelings of depression, anxiety, a traumatic event, addiction, or a complex combination of issues, I can help you make sense of the chaos. As every person and problem is unique, I am flexible in my approach, tailoring sessions to meet your specific needs.

Are you overwhelmed with negative feelings causing you to have depression and anxiety? Are you repeating the same behavioral patterns in your relationships? Would you like to learn new life skills such as coping skills, problem solving skills, and communication skills? Do you like to build up your self-esteem, self-confidence, self-love, and self-esteem? Or simply do you need to talk to someone objective and non-judgmental outside the circle of your family and friends? If your answer is yes to any of these questions, please pick up the phone and call me at: 949-350-5780

My therapeutic approach focuses very much on the here-and-now. While events in your past certainly played some role in your present distress, the past can not be changed. I believe the primary goal of psychotherapy is to teach you the tools you need to change the current patterns that are causing you problems. I also have special training and experience working with children and adolescents. While the techniques used with youths are obviously different from those used with adults, the goal remains the same: to provide the tools that will bring about positive change.
