Anxious? Down? Traumatized? Having problems in your relationships? Let's talk about it. I can offer perspective in areas such as parenting, career, and goal planning. We can discuss the habits to help get you there; to where you are aiming to go. If you don't know where that is, we can explore. The point is, we'll be working on the most important thing in your life, you! Let's identify your cycles and explore some possible variations!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Before you come to me, you should know that counseling does not work unless you do. I don't do the work, I just help guide you through it. Therapy is not the solution. You are! Things will always happen. It's all about how you choose to REACT vs respond to it! Practice makes... progress, right? Let's practice learning to be responsive! Here, the focus is you! Let's learn you so we can figure out what it is you should practice! And, let talk about ... boundaries! I give HOMEWORK!

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

I have a very eclectic and nontraditional approach. I have a cognitive behavioral approach and my homework tends to be a little more on the play/existential side! :-)

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Play therapy is one of my go tos! It's great for anxiety and trauma as well as depression. Finding ways to release tends to involve exploring a client's personal interests, which can be really fun. Finding effective releases can be the key to living a more balanced life. I use video resources and I am a huge fan of meditation!

Denisha was suggested to me by a close friend and I decided to give her a chance when my friend stated that when she hadn’t scheduled any sessions in a while Denisha reached out to check on her. That was a green flag for me. I have never had a therapist care enough to seek me out when I went silent. It shows that she cares a lot about her clients and their mental health which spoke volumes to me. I greatly enjoy our sessions and using the tools and HW that she gives me. 10/10 recommendation!

Denisha was amazing! Right away she was warm, personable with relatable life-examples of her own, empathetic, spiritual, and you can tell really cares. After seeing a therapist once a week for 5 weeks and not feeling a good connection or that I was truly getting the assistance I needed, I can already tell that my first session with Denisha made a difference. I am truly excited to continue on my path towards healing with Denisha and am excited to get my daughter some help/support through her too!

My husband and i selected Denisha based on her methods and experience. I feel like Denisha is going to help us get through our challenges and be able to communicate effectively.
