Meet Renee, I am a Marriage and Family Therapy intern working with individuals, couples, and families navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, neurodivergence, and life transitions. I have a particular passion for supporting individuals with ADHD, autism, disabilities, and first responders, and I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can show up authentically and feel truly understood.
My approach is collaborative, client-centered, and grounded in evidence-based practices while focusing on what feels realistic, manageable, and supportive for each individual. I understand that many neurodivergent individuals and first responders often carry unique stressors, pressures, and experiences that can feel isolating or difficult to explain to others. My goal is to create a space where clients feel safe to explore their experiences without shame or judgment.
Before entering the mental health field, I worked in law enforcement and dispatch, where I developed the ability to remain calm under pressure and support individuals during high-stress and crisis situations. This background also gave me firsthand insight into the emotional demands faced by law enforcement, dispatchers, and first responders, and it sparked my passion for supporting those who serve in these roles.
I also have experience working with both children and adults with disabilities, which has deepened my commitment to patience, flexibility, and adapting therapy to meet each client’s unique needs and communication style.
I believe therapy does not require you to have everything figured out — only a willingness to begin where you are. My hope is to provide a safe and compassionate environment where clients can build insight, develop healthier coping strategies, strengthen relationships, and move toward greater clarity, confidence, and well-being.
