Hello! My name is Renée, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-In Training (LPC-IT) completing my licensure hours toward full licensure. After a decade as an academic teaching in New York City, I realized that what I truly cared about was helping my students thrive in all of their unique brilliance. Now, I hope to do the same for my clients.

I offer a person-centered approach that celebrates your distinct, original experience of life. I will support you through challenging periods of growth and offer a helping hand to hold your pain. My approach is grounded in existential therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, and mindfulness-based practices—and I love to engage with the difficult, sticky challenges of life.

I am particularly interested in supporting those who struggle with chronic illness or pain, grief or loss, or the upheaval of any major life transition. I also have a keen interest in helping those struggling with trauma, depression, and anxiety. I do not believe in standard approaches to healing; instead, I work with you as an individual to find the resources that will best support your distinct needs.

I have over twenty years of mindfulness-based training and am a certified meditation instructor. If spirituality or faith is an important part of your healing journey, I am also happy to support that aspect of your path. What is most important to me is you—your values, your culture, your true nature. My office is an inclusive space where I aim for you to feel seen, heard, and where your life experience will be honored.
