I have been a licensed therapist in Oklahoma for 6 years and primarily worked in the community counseling setting. I have been with BetterHelp since August of 2023 and have enjoyed it tremendously. Having the opportunity to work with individuals from such a variety of backgrounds and cultures has helped to promote my growth as a therapist. I have experience in helping clients with depression, trauma (from various sources), abuse (physical, emotional, or sexual), parenting issues, self-esteem, career difficulties, and relationship concerns (family, friends, or romantic). I believe in treating everyone with respect, non-judgement, and compassion. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.

She is very understanding and flexible if I miss a session she always checks in and tried to get me in as soon as possible to ensure I’m okay overall

I immediately felt comfortable with Rena. She set clear goals and boundaries for our sessions. I appreciate that she did not allow me to make excuses but to answer the questions honestly, even when the answer was hard.

Amazing. Great to talk to and always feel like she hears me and helps with whatever I need to talk through.

Rena has been x10 helpful in how far I have come to understanding myself, past trauma, relationships, and what I should prioritize in my life. Couldn't have asked for anyone better!
