I feel so lucky to have been matched with her. She understands everything I’m saying and helps me figure out what’s wrong when I don’t even know!
I’m forever grateful

Renee does therapy for all the right reasons! She honestly cares about her patients and has empathy for what they are going through. She can quickly assess what needs to change and how to go about doing it. You will see progress very quickly if you work with Renee. You will know you aren’t wasting your time. I highly recommend her.

Renee is the best therapist I’ve ever had. She’s kind, a great listener, and very open and understanding. She gives fantastic advice and “homework”.
