Renee has 20 years of extensive experience providing support to couples who are experiencing difficulties in their parenting, along with providing psychotherapy to children, teenagers and families. 

Renee completed her studies and training in Los Angeles, California, where she worked extensively with marginalized youth in inner-city schools, along with maintaining a private practice, where she worked with individuals, couples and families.

Renee draws primarily on psychodynamic, interpersonal, relational, Emotion-Focused (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) models of psychotherapy. She has worked for many years with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, loss, substance-abuse, eating disorders and self-harm.

Prior to becoming a therapist, Renee worked for many years with young children in a democratic learning environment that focused on healthy emotional and social development. Through this experience, she learned meaningful and authentic ways to support children in finding safe outlets for their big feelings and develop strong problem-solving skills that included helping them set their own boundaries and be respectful of others’ boundaries. She regularly incorporates and adapts this approach into her work with clients of all ages.
