“Change your thoughts and you change your world”. Hi There! Thank you for reviewing my page. My name is Denise. Have you been feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, depressed and lost? Maybe you are struggling with the challenges in your relationship, or a divorce or break up and have lost your sense of self. You are not alone. Navigating life situations and the many challenges we all face can be overwhelming sometimes. And with so much going on, it's hard to know where to start. I am here to listen, provide emotional support, teach you new skills, and help you gain insight. Together we will explore your thoughts and feelings and present relationships and situations. You have all the answers let’s find them! I will provide you with a safe space to heal and grow. We will work collaboratively to figure things out and make changes so you feel better and improve your quality of life!
In our first session together we will have a brief introduction and I will gather some basic information from you. Then, we will dive into the challenges you are facing. This helps us set up your goals in therapy.
I have been told my laid-back approach helps clients feel comfortable and relaxed. My genuine interest in others is not technically a skill, but it is an essential component of counseling. I am empathetic and accepting of what clients share with me without any judgment. I enjoy thinking outside the box with clients and helping them find their greatest strengths and resources to find solutions for their problems and challenges.
I love helping people discover who they are and what they want. Teaching people new coping skills and how to balance life.Sometimes it feels challenging to move forward, and that can make one feel stuck. I enjoy working with people who are looking to sort things out and want to start a new journey, create a new narrative and consider possibilities of change.
My role as a therapist using Person-Centered therapy involves active listening, reflecting my clients emotions and demonstrating positive regard, which fosters a strong therapeutic alliance. Ultimately, I use this approach to prioritize a Client's unique perspective and help clients understand themselves as they travel through their journey of self discovery and personal growth.
