Hi, I am Renee. It’s an honor to have you here.
Your wellbeing is at the heart of our journey together.
I’ve always been interested in people who carry a lot. People who function well, think clearly, and stay composed under pressure, often at a cost. The kind of people who are relied on, respected, and capable, yet know there’s an internal strain that never quite shuts off.
An early experience in therapy showed me how powerful it can be to be truly seen. Not fixed. Not analyzed. Just understood. That experience stayed with me and shaped how I work today.
I’ve been practicing for over a decade, and what I’ve learned is this: meaningful change doesn’t come from insight alone or from applying the right tool. It comes from the relationship. From working with someone who can stay present, grounded, and steady while you examine the patterns that helped you succeed but are no longer serving you.
My work is relational, focused, and collaborative. Therapy with me isn’t cold or clinical. It’s a thoughtful, direct conversation grounded in trust and clarity. We pay attention to what’s happening beneath the surface and move at a pace that respects both your capacity and your nervous system.
I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and persistent patterns that don’t shift despite intelligence, self-awareness, or discipline. Many of my clients are executives, founders, high-level professionals, and caregivers. People who are used to being the one others lean on, and are ready for work that goes deeper than symptom management.
I’m a certified EMDR therapist and regularly use EMDR when it’s clinically appropriate. I also draw from ego state work, mindfulness-based approaches, and polyvagal-informed nervous system work. The focus is always on choosing the right tool for the moment and individual, not forcing a single method when something else would be more effective.
I work with adults across Texas, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Maine, offering virtual therapy and EMDR intensives. Clients who work with me value privacy, depth, and a space where they can think clearly, feel fully, and stop holding everything together.
Outside of sessions, I’m usually outdoors with my dogs, doing Pilates more out of discipline than enjoyment, eating something with too much cheese, or getting lost in a slow-burn romantasy novel.
At the core of my work is this: you don’t have to carry everything alone. If you’re looking for therapy that’s grounded, direct, and designed for people who operate at a high level, this may be a good fit.
