More about Renee
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
As a licensed therapist in Arizona, I bring over two decades of compassionate, specialized experience supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice centers on creating affirming, inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals, trauma survivors, and those navigating significant life transitions.
I specialize in addressing diverse experiences including chronic illness, grief, relationship dynamics, workplace stress, and personal growth. My approach is deeply empathetic, focusing on helping clients develop self-love, improve communication, and work through challenging emotions like guilt, shame, and panic.
With expertise in trauma-informed care, I support clients through various experiences—from trauma recovery to postpartum challenges, chronic illness, and life stage transitions. I'm particularly committed to working with young adults, women, and LGBTQ+ communities, offering a non-judgmental, supportive therapeutic environment.
My therapeutic style emphasizes collaboration, personal empowerment, and holistic healing. I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients develop resilience, understand their unique strengths, and create meaningful pathways toward emotional wellness.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
