Therapy for children, adolescents and adults. Whether you or your child is struggling with anxiety, coping with the effects of trauma, navigating ADHD, cognitive differences or neurodiversity, emotional and behavioral issues, LGBTQIA+ issues, overwhelming stress, major life transitions, counseling can provide a supportive space to develop more positive skills that can improve emotional well being.

As children, we can be happy for no reason at all until stressful or traumatic events occur that impact us into adulthood. It can become difficult to express and process emotions which leads to challenges that impact our mental health and well-being. If you or your child have experienced trauma, (physical, emotional, verbal, sexual, victim of neglect, exposure to violence, etc.), behavioral or attachment issues that may be related to adoption, foster care, parental conflict/mental health issues or family conflict, counseling can be crucial to move forward in life.

Some people will mask emotions or internalize them which can lead to burnout and exhaustion. This can happen to children, adolescents and adults. If you’ve ever been worried about how others perceive you, feel alone, unheard or are compartmentalizing your emotions and experiences, you are not alone. I’m glad you’re here!

Denise is committed to a compassionate, individualized, and strengths-based approach to counseling for children, adolescents and adults. She believes that understanding the whole person—not simply a diagnosis or presenting challenge—is essential to providing meaningful support. Her goal is to create a safe and respectful environment where individuals, regardless of their age feel heard, understood, and empowered while developing skills that promote emotional well-being, personal growth, and improved quality of life. Therapeutic approaches may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Based Interventions (TBI), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Behavior Modification and Play Therapy techniques.
