Most importantly, I treat all clients with the utmost respect and care they deserve. I offer after hours and weekend appointments and new clients are always welcome.

I see clients facing a range of challenges, i.e., men's issues, trauma, substance & mood disorders. My clients may be seeking support for issues related to relationships, grief & loss, work stress and deeper questions about life and their place in it. Others may be grappling with the aftermath of traumatic experiences, addictive behaviors or contending with anxiety, depression or anger issues. My clients are children, adolescents and adults, many of whom are new to therapy or have been in therapy multiple times to little avail. They aim to develop virtue & to improve their lives physically, socially, spiritually & emotionally.

My path to becoming a therapist was more of a calling than a career decision. I’m not particularly suited to this profession. I’m introverted, which causes me to present as somewhat unfriendly and aloof to strangers. I’m really not concerned with small talk or what I consider the superficialities of life. But when it comes to exploring the deepest, most difficult and painful core aspects of your life that’s the space where I feel most comfortable. The foundation of my practice is my own personal journey in 12-step recovery. I would say I was "chosen" for the gift of recovery from a self-destructive lifestyle more than 34 years ago.

A sense of healing, empowerment, control, and newly found self-confidence are amongst the best feelings that we can experience in life. Stressors, trauma, toxicity, and confusion can take all of those things away from us. We are all capable of losing a sense of hope, meaning, and regulation. We can feel angry, sad, bitter, and lost and sometimes not know exactly why. I do believe everyone has the potential to conquer their demons and if you're in a position where you are ready for change and long term recovery then I would like to be there to support that feeling and offer guidance towards a better life.

Hey! I am Renata. If you are here, you are probably contemplating change. My favorite quote is "tradition is the enemy of progress." There will not be sustained change without addressing potential problems in the way we have traditionally approached our circumstances. If you are open to stepping outside of traditional patterns, you may be ready for a journey of change.

We all have the ability to be our best self. My role is to help you to tap into your potential and encourage personal growth while providing the space that you need to rethink patterns of thought and behavior that no longer provide you with the outcome that you desire. Personal transformation can happen. During your therapy session, we will utilize therapeutic techniques that define your concerns and create realistic goals.
