She works with teens, adults, and couples.
Rene’s treatment focus is to create a warm, supportive and brave space to collaborate and design a treatment plan that addresses my client’s personal goals while aligning their authentic wants and needs (value-based therapy) using evidence-based treatment modalities, such as: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) coupled often with specific tools and strategies using: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Family Systems Theory, Person-Centered Therapy, and the Gottman model for specific couples/marital concerns.
Rene is warm, genuine and empathetic; yet encourages tough conversations and is committed to unconditional positive regard while creating lasting change. “I enjoy working with clients to sort out barriers, re-establish healthy boundaries, examine effective communication styles and improve coping strategies while recognizing and affirming their innate gifts, personal growth and always uplift their full potential.”
Rene has a wonderful wit and uses humor when appropriate to make connections and build rapport with each client. “The focus is on you - the whole person, not presenting problems. If necessary, the narrative is redefined, and new skills are created – this is the heart of behavioral change.”
