Here you are, browsing for therapists, making a choice not only to find a therapist that is the right fit for you but also making the choice to prioritize something that maybe you have neglected. I am here to hold that space for you to bring as much of your humanness as you are willing to bring into the room with me, no matter how dark it gets, and to be a witness without judgment or expectations so that you can heal wounds. All of my approaches in therapy are inspired by attachment theory, trauma-informed care, Internal Family Systems theory (IFS), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and narrative therapies.

Sometimes the act of verbalizing our experiences can be very challenging. Art can be a great way to begin the therapeutic process and to further explore the unseen and unsaid aspects of our lives. My approach focuses primarily on the combination of art therapy and internal family systems therapy, to help my clients gain a deeper understanding of their different parts and how those parts show up in the world. I try to be very collaborative and transparent with my clients to create a more equal dynamic in our sessions.

Finding the right fit can be daunting, sometimes even traumatizing. In order to facilitate a genuine connection with clients. I meet clients where they are at using trauma-informed care, cultural competency, and a person centered approach. This means I am carful to avoid re-traumatization, I respect clients’ personal values, and I approach clients with unconditional positive regard even when discussing potentially difficult topics such as suicidal ideation or sexuality. I prioritize developing a safe, confidential space for clients to explore the challenges that brought them into therapy.

Hi there, I’m Renee (she/her), and I’m excited to work with you! Relationship transitions such as divorce/separation, ethical non monogamy, and infidelity can leave you and your partner(s) with mixed feelings and confusion. It is my intention to create a space that affirms and supports your many identities as well as the complexity of your many experiences. I enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ folks, those interested in learning more about their own sexuality, desire, and non-traditional family configurations. I work from an anti-racist, health at every size, sex, and kink/BDSM positive approach.

Hello! I am so glad you're here. As you’ve embarked on your search for a therapist, I’m sure many questions have come up. What kind of therapist do I need? How will I tell my story? Who will I trust and connect with? Will I ever feel better? While many of these questions are yours to answer, I hope I can help make the search easier. Like you, I’ve struggled with my mental health, worked to maintain connections and boundaries with others, explored my identity and overall traveled the ups and downs of life. In some ways we may be the same, and in other ways not.

Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or you are coming back to the work, finding a therapist you connect with is key. When you feel the right fit, it is amazing what is possible on the healing journey. Problems start to feel more manageable and creativity opens up, allowing you to lean in and work toward the change you want to see happen. I deeply value both humor and seriousness to the therapeutic relationship. I believe that we are all wired to move toward health; sometimes we need help and guidance along the way to clear out past trauma, anxiety, relationship problems, depression.
