More about Renee

- Female
- LCSW-C
As a licensed therapist in Maryland, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping young adults, women, and caregivers work through challenging life experiences, including stress, relationship dynamics, trauma, and personal growth.
My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in understanding attachment, family systems, and individual resilience. I'm passionate about helping clients explore issues of identity, purpose, and healing—particularly around guilt, shame, and personal empowerment. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a compassionate space where clients can courageously examine their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for emotional well-being.
With over a decade of clinical experience, I bring both professional expertise and genuine commitment to supporting individuals as they transform challenging life patterns and rediscover their inner strength. My work honors each person's unique journey, focusing on holistic healing and personal growth.

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.
