Renae understands that the human experience is complex and can be overwhelming, regardless of what phase in life we are in. She believes everyone deserves a safe space to be listened to and understood. Renae works collaboratively with adults, adolescence, and children in the DFW area to express themselves and work through life’s challenges.

 

Her approach is client centered, holistic, and strength focused to ensure she is respecting each unique client and welcomes them to explore themselves in a different way. Renae believes providing a patient and narrative approach to her clients allows them to express their life experiences in their own way and at their own time.

For those clients, Renae walks them through art therapy modalities to explore life’s hardships with curiosity and compassion.
