Hello! I’m Renata (she/her), a graduate student mental health counselor from Antioch University. I received my Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of South Florida, and my career history includes case management, which instilled in me the value of holistic care. When we work together, you can expect me to take the time to look at the whole picture when learning about what makes you and your needs unique.

I practice counseling from a person-centered lens, meaning that I lead with empathy, continuously work to understand your worldview, and empower you to guide our sessions and experience growth. I am especially passionate about counseling transgender and non-binary folks and the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. I am open to working with individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health symptoms, and individuals who have experienced trauma.

My goal is to help you live in comfort and authenticity. If you are looking for help navigating your gender journey, let’s co-create a space where you feel safe enough to explore. If you are ready to untangle how trauma has shaped you and learn how to move forward, we’ll do it together at your speed. If you are ready for change, let’s talk! I would love to walk beside you on your therapeutic journey.
