About

I offer 3 coaching paths — personal growth, ADHD, and career — rooted in the work I’ve done in my own life. These aren’t abstract concepts to me, they’re areas I’ve explored deeply and moved through with intention. In our sessions, I'll create a safe space for you to examine your own patterns with care and precision: understanding how these patterns formed, how they’ve shaped your inner world, and what it takes to loosen their grip so you can move forward with more clarity, freedom, and authenticity.

 

I’m currently pursuing a graduate degree in Clinical Psychology, working toward licensure as a therapist (LMFT). As per clinical experience, I work as a Sr. Addiction Counselor at Ohlhoff, supporting clients in building resilience and reclaiming control over their lives. I'm also a Psychotherapist Trainee at Edgewood, helping teenagers navigate difficult emotions and relationship challenges. Previously, as a Crisis Counselor at San Francisco Suicide Prevention, I provided immediate support on the national 988 and HIV hotlines.

Outside of work, I enjoy DJ-ing, producing electronic music, farmers' markets on Saturdays, spending hours in cozy bookstores, and weightlifting.

Personal Growth Coaching: Authentic You

 

Personal growth track focuses on what matters most to you — whether that’s relationships, emotional awareness, or navigating the challenges and transitions in your life. When your outer life no longer reflects your inner truth, it’s time to pause. I help you cut through the noise, so you can hear yourself again — what you want, what you value, what actually matters. From there, you start making choices that feel solid instead of uncertain, aligned instead of performative. Together we name what’s really going on and build a path forward that feels unmistakably yours: clear, grounded, and intentional.

ADHD Coaching:
Focus, Flow, and Clarity

ADHD is something I’ve navigated unmedicated for thirty years — the frustration, the strategies that didn’t work, the constant overwhelm. I know what it’s like to feel at odds with your own mind, and I bring that lived understanding to help you find approaches that actually fit your life. I help you understand how your brilliant mind works, identify what actually supports you, and build strategies that turn energy into focus, clarity, and forward momentum. Together, we create a system that works with your brain — so you can follow through, feel in control, and work toward your goals.

Career Coaching:
Work That Feels Like You

You’ve worked hard to get here, but what’s next? Whether you’re aiming for your next big role, craving more purpose, or making a bold career switch, growth requires clarity and intention. Having navigated my own transition, I understand both the strategic and emotional challenges of change. Leading global marketing campaigns in big tech taught me how to perform, but also how easy it is to lose yourself in the doing.

I now work with people who want to reconnect with their own truth, so their work feels like an expression of who they are, not just what they do.

I feel incredibly fortunate that Rena accepted the offer to work with me at Adobe. And I can't say enough positive feedback about Rena's approach to completely revamping the content strategy, as well as leading the development of big thought leadership programs for Adobe. Under her leadership, the blog traffic increased by +300% and drove several million dollars in pipeline.

Previous Client

Working with Rena has truly changed my life. She guided me through one of the most difficult times (struggling with alcohol and drug addiction) with kindness, care, and compassion. What stood out most was how deeply she listened and understood without judgment. I am grateful for her support and would recommend Rena to anyone seeking real and lasting change. She is truly passionate about her job.

Ohlhoff Recovery Programs

Rena possesses all the right qualities that make for a good clinician: bright, curious, empathic, listens well and is motivated to improve her craft. I see this every day first hand as our team here is small and we all work closely to serve a diverse and often challenging population whose concerns extend beyond substance use disorder.

Angela Hopper,  LMFT, Clinical Supervisor
Ohlhoff Recovery Programs

Rena is psychologically insightful and gifted in her work with clients. I've observed her to be very conscientious and hard working in her professional role. Rena is knowledgeable in various evidence-based interventions, treatment modalities, and professional ethics. She carries herself with compassion, empathy, and maturity in all her professional endeavors.

Truth is a pathless land. One has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents of his own mind, through observation.
