Renew Therapy with Fran LPC

I’m Fran, a Licensed Professional Counselor who creates a warm, judgment-free space for people across the lifespan—from teens navigating big emotions to adults working through life’s many transitions. My work with teens includes individual sessions as well as caregiver involvement when helpful, because supporting a young person often means supporting the system around them. I was drawn to this field because I believe therapy should be equitable—accessible, culturally responsive, and rooted in real understanding. Too many people are taught to “push through” without ever being given the tools or support they deserve, and my goal is to help change that. I specialize in anxiety, emotional regulation, relationship challenges, and navigating life’s harder seasons, including major transitions and periods of overwhelm. My approach blends compassion with honesty and evidence-based practices, so sessions feel both supportive and practical. As one of my favorite Star Wars quotes reminds us, “Your focus determines your reality.” In therapy, we work together to shift patterns, build skills, and create a reality that feels more grounded and manageable—at any stage of life. Whether you’re a teen trying to make sense of big feelings, an adult feeling stuck or burned out, or a caregiver seeking guidance as part of your teen’s care, we’ll move at your pace. This is a space where your story matters, your experiences are respected, and growth is possible—one step at a time.
