Do you often find yourself feeling empty – as if you float through your days going through the motions, rather than living an abundant and thriving life? Life can be difficult, and no matter how strong one may be mentally, there is only so much stress one can shoulder alone before it becomes too much. I believe in working together collaboratively in order to unlock one’s innate ability to self-heal. Through support and guided introspection, the answers to our troubles become self-evident.

Tired of feeling overwhelmed, stressed out or anxious? Do you find yourself overthinking or worrying about any and everything? Do you experience a rapid heart beat, sweaty palms, dry mouth and shaking? Feeling on edge, irritable or tense? All these things keep you from enjoying your life. They hold you back in your career or in relationships or other areas of life. You want to feel at ease and less stressed out. You want to go after what you want without second guessing yourself.


I help client's develop life-changing habits that allow them to cope with any of life’s various obstacles that provokes anxiety. During therapy sessions we will work together to identify goals and map out a plan to reach those goals. You'll receive tools that you can start using today and the validation and care that you deserve.


You will find a supportive, non judgmental, safe space to share. Contact me to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation so I can answer any questions you have before we get started.

Welcome—I’m glad you’re here. Choosing to seek support is an act of courage, and your future self will thank you for showing yourself kindness today. My name is Renee. I graduated from University of Southern California School of Social Work in 2014.

I support those who struggle with trust after unhealthy relationships, major life transitions, or who have turned to alcohol or other substances to cope with emotional pain.

I also work with individuals healing from addiction, substance use, and mental health challenges, and I have experience supporting military families as they navigate the unique barriers of having a loved one in the military, as well as serving Veterans. My goal is to offer a supportive space for healing, connection, and meaningful change.

A former client called me "endlessly chill." I am known to wear more sweatshirts than more "professional" attire. I don't want to give off any energy that I am better than anyone who sits across from me. I am known to swear in sessions (but I do filter this per client).

In my approach to counseling, I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focus Therapy and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy as the main approaches to counseling. It is important that each client's needs are met through their counseling experience, therefore, counseling is not limited to the above approaches. Biblical principles are also used as an approach to counseling. Counseling will be provided to a diverse population of individuals. Optimum health and healing is possible if you are willing to do the work! Be Willing!
