Hi there! I am Denise. Does life feel out of control? Too quick? Too stressful? Have you experienced a loss? I specialize and hold certifications in grief, trauma, youth mental health, ADHD and Autism. I have spent many years working with families, teenagers and adults by helping identify and resolve problems with some techniques to help. I am looking forward to working with you!
In their first session with me, you can expect to have time spent with me discussing what brings you to therapy and what you hope to accomplish in therapy. We will get to know each other to make sure we are a good fit. It is my belief that everyone has to have a trusting relationship to be able to make the changes that are desired in their life. I thank you for the opportunity to work with you.
I am invested in each of my clients. I truly care and am empathetic to what changes people desire to achieve. I am up front and honest through out the process. I believe that "it does not matter what someone knows until you know how much they care" (Maya Angelou). I have extensive training and experience in education, Social Work, life experience, and also being a qualified clinician and therapist. It does not matter your background with me you will find a peaceful and safe place.
Have you ever wondered am I different, why do people seem different to me than others, why don't I find that funny or even just why can't I accomplish one task? Reach out and do not delay! I am here and cannot wait to help. I am focused on providing therapeutic services to people in need of services. I hold certifications in Autism, ADHD, Grief and Loss, Trauma, and Youth Mental Health.
