Welcome! I’m Raena, a dedicated therapist with a deep commitment to supporting individuals through their unique journeys of healing and growth. My practice is rooted in a trauma-informed approach, recognizing that every person's experience is shaped by their past and present. My methods are tailored to meet your individual needs, incorporating evidence-based practices and a compassionate approach. I utilize many different modalities including Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Strength Based Therapy. I am experienced in treating anxiety, depression, and complex trauma.

I provide a culturally sensitive, inclusive environment for children and adults, with experience supporting those impacted by sexual violence and offering LGBTQ+ affirming care. I’m committed to addressing diverse needs and continuously expanding my cultural awareness to reduce barriers. My goal is to ensure every client feels safe, understood and empowered.

My goal is to create an affirming space where you can explore your identity, navigate experiences, and foster personal growth. I see therapy as a collaborative process rooted in respect, empathy, and cultural competence. Whether you’re seeking support for trauma, identity, or life challenges, I’m here to walk with you toward healing, balance, and resilience.
