She considers it a privilege to walk alongside each client as they rediscover hope, deepen self-understanding, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I provide psychotherapy to adults, young adults, children, women, and families in which I specialize in anxiety. As a therapist I diagnose and treat depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD and other mental health disorders.

I believe that getting better from a mental health disorder is not only possible, but realistic. I am here to guide you on that journey of healing. So that you can gain peace and continue to pursue your dreams and goals. When working with children I work with parents to provide play therapy, art therapy, and pet therapy

I have a deep commitment to seeing people flourish in relationship to themselves, and to others. For many of us, we have some sense of what makes relationships great and what makes them terrible. Knowing and experiencing what makes great relationships stronger, and what turns terrible relationships around, is where I can work alongside you. As someone who has been stepped in Attachment science, I love allowing for people to make more coherent sense of their internal world, to build or restore bonds with others.

I veiw the path of a human life span, as each of us interact and peerceives the environment around us in our own unique way. My goal is to help clients look at their options, evaluate choices towarda healthier outcome. My work has involved in helping clients toward building better communication between couples, family members, and individual relationships. It is my belief that counseling / psychotherapy can provide a safe place where personal challenges can be processed, and finding choices toward enhancing the quality of life and improve relationships.

I attended San Diego State University for my undergraduate studies and received my masters in Social Work from Loma Linda University. I have provided services in various settings; community mental health clinics, non-profits, private sector and inpatient psychiatric units. I also work with a diverse population and have experience providing support to children, adolescents, adults, couples and families.

My name is Rene and I’m a down-to-earth therapist who specializes in substance use and trauma, and I love helping people feel hopeful again during some of the hardest and most confusing chapters of their lives. I also support clients navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, family and relationship struggles, stress, and women’s issues. I especially enjoy working with women rebuilding identity and confidence after difficult life experiences.

People often tell me they feel comfortable with me quickly. My goal is simple: to meet you exactly where you are — whether that’s overwhelmed, stuck, healing, hopeful, or unsure — and help you find freedom, opportunity, and solid ground again. If faith or Christian counseling is meaningful to you, I’m happy to incorporate spirituality into our work together. And if not — that’s perfectly okay too. Therapy with me is about your values and your journey.

I love doing this work! I consider it a great privilege to walk alongside my clients, to partner with them, support them in their journey, and witness their growth.

I want you to know that you don’t have to do this alone—there is hope, and I’m here to help you restore it.
