Renae is a person-centered therapist, whose genuine empathy and unconditional positive regard are the cornerstones of her practice. She believes that the client is the expert in their own life, and whether the presenting concern is a difficult life transition or simply feeling stuck, Renae’s primary focus is to offer guidance and encouragement as she journeys alongside her client. In addition to being a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), Renae is a registered provider with the Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP), First Nations Health Authority (FHNA), and the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC).

Renae was born and raised in Kelowna, and in 2001 she and her husband returned “home” to raise their family. Even though she is a regular participant in activities and events throughout the Okanagan, Renae’s favourite place to be is in enlightening conversation with her three young adult children and basking in the adulation of her two 5lb dogs and two 20lb cats.

She has trained in Solution-Focused, CBT, Gottman and Attachment therapies which further informs her work individuals and couples. Roxie provides support to clients who have trauma, anxiety, depression, disruptive behaviors and relationship challenges.

Roxie loves what she does. For her, being a therapist is more than a job. It reflects a core part of her that enjoys getting to know people at a real level. She enjoys the therapy process as it allows for authentic, face-to-face conversations in an uber-wired world. As a therapist, she guides people through personal challenges, helps ease emotional burdens, and empowers people to achieve a healthier, more balanced life. For Roxie, it’s an honour and privilege to walk alongside someone during a dark period to help make their burden a bit lighter.

Roxie lives in Kelowna with her husband and two dogs. She aspires to one day becoming an accomplished horsewoman, like her granddaughter. Her happy place is in Cranbrook on her daughter’s acreage amongst the chickens.

When she’s not working, she relaxes by playing with her dogs, skiing, and boating with her family. Her greatest joy is spending time giggling with her grandchildren.

She is a Registered Clinical Counsellor and an Approved Clinical Supervisor with the BCACC. She also provides counselling through the Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP) and ICBC and First Nations Health Authority (FNHA).

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor who is trained in Somatic Experiencing, I can help bring purpose and meaning back into life. Somatic Experiencing works to help build your resilience and help your nervous system to self regulate. Somatic Experiencing allows me to help you to get to the core of traumatic incidences.

Sometimes life can feel like it has been derailed. Sometimes life is going well then one incident or more can leave you feeling overcome with overwhelming thoughts, feelings and emotions. Fear, anger, anxiety or depression can consume your life. Your personal relationships may be falling apart.

My intention is to provide a space where you will feel safe and welcome just as you are. We will make sense of difficult feelings, such as anxiety, anger, fear or depression that may overwhelm you. The results are more resilience, better relationships and a better you. Working together and connection are key, we are not meant to do this journey alone.

I also can work from other modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and from an Attachment perspective.

I look forward to beginning this journey with you.
