About me

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over 10 years experience specializing in trauma recovery. I love helping my clients manage overwhelming emotions, change self-destructive habits, improve personal relationships, and feel more in control of their lives.

The treatment approach I use integrates cognitive processing therapy (CPT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). I find that CPT helps us our understand our experience, CBT helps us respond to our experience, and DBT helps us change our experience.

These interventions involve a lot of writing out your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so that we can notice patterns and find alternative choices. This is why weekly Live Chat sessions, along with sending messages and completing worksheets in between sessions, are a perfect modality for this treatment approach.

The therapeutic relationship is the catalyst for change. I bring my years of education and training, professional experience, personal experience, and genuine empathy to create safety. You bring yourself, exactly as you are, to create authenticity. Together, we build a brave space in which awareness deepens, empowerment grows, and meaningful change happens.

While the therapeutic relationship is a professional one, it's still important to me that you experience me as a real person with genuine interest and care for you, so I'll share a bit about myself here. I grew up in New Orleans and have lived here most of my life. I have a BA in sociology and women's studies from Loyola University and a master's in social work from Tulane University. I started my social work career as a Disaster Housing Case Manager for folks impacted by Hurricane Katrina, then after grad school I worked for the District Attorney as a Domestic Violence Victim Advocate and Counselor. I then spent 3 years as a community-based therapist before taking a hiatus to dance professionally in New York and get my yoga teacher certification.

Now I work full-time in clinical private practice, and I also perform with local community theatre and dance companies. I share my home with 2 dogs, a goldador named Bella and a chihuahua-mix named Rex, and a pet snake named Kaa. I like to take road trips, and most of my vacations are spent in a campground or at a music festival.

I know how much courage it takes to search for the right therapist, and to open up to someone new. I would be honored to join you on your journey to your best life!

Renee is a down to earth and patient professional. She works with me and offers information and kindness.

Renee has and continues to help me so much with understanding my emotions and finding meaning in every aspect of my life. She has given me the tools to really allow me to craft my own positive perspective on all of life's ups and downs. She is there for all of the hard times and so much fun during the good times. She always knows how to deal with serious issues and still finds good spots for some levity and humor. All things considered Renee is a genuine caring person with a big heart and a great understanding of people and their feelings.

Accidentally clicked the wrong answer for how Renee responds. She responds in a timely manner. She is great. Couldn’t ask for a better experience. She really listens and challenges me to grow in ways that benefit me.
