Great to meet you!

I specialize in trauma therapy and have been practicing EMDR therapy for 10 years.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am genuine, non-judgemental, and non-critical. I meet a client where they are at and I don't push. I have a unique ability to be able to empathize with my clients on a deep level and understand and validate their issues.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients walk away feeling understood, validated and empathized with. Clients frequently say how comfortable they are with me.


Denise's style is

Empowering
Humorous
Warm
