(she/her)
Are you experiencing stress, worry, racing thoughts, impaired sleep, feeling on edge, heart racing, nightmares, or/and flashbacks? Do you replay moments in your head? My specialty is helping women uncover the root of their problems and empowering them with tools to regain balance, calm, and confidence. You don’t have to face it all alone. Let me help you on this journey! Imagine yourself empowered, as we find recurring themes and self-defeating patterns. You will discover ways to overcome fear and other emotional obstacles. Problems, once confronted, lead to insights and newfound strength, self-acceptance and freedom. My advanced training is in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) which is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from anxiety, trauma and PTSD symptoms. My experience and training help us to quickly identify key issues, unconscious factors and ways to resolve them. My primary focus is on helping women find balance and peace after experiencing trauma, navigating through life transitions and unhealthy relationships. I can work with you to develop healthy coping skills and gain insight. I love to help others feel at peace and whole again. If there is one thing that I would like for you to know is that the most crucial part of therapy is to find a therapist that you trust. My priority is to create a genuine connection with my clients by creating a safe and non-judgmental space for them. I am a Latina Christian woman who loves serving my community wholeheartedly; with no judgement. Let me help you reclaim your voice, your confidence, and your sense of direction. You deserve to feel at peace with yourself and proud of the woman you’re becoming.
In our first session I'll start with a brief introduction, I'll verify some information, then I'll have you discuss current and ongoing concerns in your life. I'll make sure I have an understanding of what is going on, I will develop a treatment plan, and then we will complete an assessment together. Finally I will set up exceptions from therapy, therapy boundaries, I'll review policies and procedures, payment, and we will discuss weekly scheduled session times.
I enjoy working with women with wide range of issues including Anxiety, Trauma and Abuse, Life Transitions, Emerging Adulthood, and Multigenerational trauma.
My primary focus is clients that suffer from anxiety, post traumatic stress (past history of sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and/or psychological abuse). Adults from the age of 18 to 50.
EMDR
I’ve been implementing EMDR in my practice for the past five years. It’s helped dozens of clients process their traumatic experiences and/or anxiety. I have noticed that when implementing the EMDR treatment method versus talk therapy, progress in treatment is much quicker than "only" talk therapy.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past five years. It’s helped dozens of clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. CBT aims to help you identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and to learn practical self-help strategies.

In the short time we spoke Denise demonstrated a warm and inviting spirit. She gives you the room and safety to effectively communicate what you’re going through and gives you a pathway to resolve the issues at hand. I know this won’t happen overnight but knowing I have someone like Denise guiding me down a path that will lead me to healing is a feeling that I am so grateful to have.

She truly has helped me understand and cope with some crazy childhood trauma, and has always been so patient on the process of the rollercoaster life can be.
