Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor, I strive to use my expertise in order to create a comfortable and safe environment for you.

I've been a counselor for over 15 years and in that time, I have helped countless people get through stressful challenges by questioning negative thoughts and understanding the source of specific behaviors and emotional patterns.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is that we are a team. I am not an authority figure but instead, you are the greatest authority about your life. All I can do is help you gain some perspective and work together as a team to find some solutions.

What you can expect from our first session

With the right tools and a better approach to situations, it's possible to gain a better outlook on any issues that life brings your way.

Denise's style is

Open-minded
Humorous
Challenging
