About Elemental

Renée brings warmth and openness to her therapeutic work. She believes our sense of self, our attachment style, and our relationships are key to our general health and wellbeing. Her psychodynamic orientation and grounded background in mindfulness allow clients to experience therapy that is deeply personal to their concerns and supportive of their values. Renée embodies compassion, respect, and honesty, and believes in the unlimited outcomes that the therapeutic conversation can inspire. When we are seen, heard, and validated, we can intuitively navigate the process of growth and change, and create the life and relationships that we always knew were possible.

After many years supporting clients Renée has witnessed the central role our attachment issues play in our sense of Self, our ability to creating and maintaining interpersonal relationships, and how we function as human beings.

Renée worked as a remedial and somatic massage therapist, and teaching Yoga and Meditation for many years.

I am ignited by a passion for studying and believe the journey of learning never ceases, but requires continual opening and expanding the parameters of what we think we know.
