About Rene
I am licensed in Florida with over 20 years of professional work experience in end of life, hospice care, as well as working with teens and young adults at the start of life. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. I am client centered and that means you decide what we need to talk about in therapy. My goal is to cater this room to your needs and preferences.

What clients say
- “I have never felt more seen or understood by anyone. My therapist has been a savior for my mental health. Thank you Rene”
- “You are great Rene!”
- “Rene and I have been working together since COVID. I reached out in December of 2020 (NYE), and he was working. He ALWAYS works holidays, as he feels that's when people are in crisis. THAT's Renee! So darn generous with his time. <br /> I am a very political, widowed person and a former nurse. I was receiving phone calls from nursing peers sharing horror stories about their fatal COVID cases. I was also reeling from too much social media. Rene worked with me, and I am now five years later, living with more gratitude, less anxiety, and a healthier lifestyle. I am not on FB anymore. I have cut down on my caffeine (nurses thrive on coffee), and I have accepted that after 15 years of widowhood, dating sites, and meet-ups, I am perfectly fine single, but I have not given up the "possibility of surprise," which is Renee's doing. <br /> I have spent the last few years learning ballet, loving my family and friends, and understanding what normal anxiety is and what is not. <br /> Renee is a dedicated REAL therapist. I only communicate with him by writing, as that is what I prefer. I can use my phone or laptop, and I never miss a time to write him. <br /> I plan to be his client for as long as he continues to offer services. BetterHelp has given me a fantastic opportunity at a price I can afford. I am grateful. I am turning 70 next week, and I can honestly say, I love myself more than I ever have. Think about that statement. Isn't that the true ticket to happiness? Forgiving, not living with regret, and understanding how human we are and how we must love ourselves first to love others? That's Rene. He makes me feel sane in an insane world. Thank you to Renee and Betterhelp for their platform and caring attitude.”
