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 and neurodiversity, emotional and behavioral issues, Denise provides a supportive space to help individuals

Whether you, or your child is struggling with anxiety, coping with the effects of trauma, navigating ADHD or autism, managing overwhelming stress, or adjusting to a significant life change, counseling can provide a supportive space to develop greater self-understanding, coping skills, and emotional well-being. ‍

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 and families feel heard, understood, and empowered while developing skills that promote emotional well-being, personal growth, and improved quality of life. She utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Based Interventions (TBI), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Behavior Modification and Play Therapy techniques.

‍Providing help and support for children, adolescents and Parents‍ ‍‍ ‍

Children teach us how to be happy for no reason at all. As children and adolescents grow, they may find it difficult to process emotions which can lead to challenges that can impact mental health and well-being. To assist with these challenges, therapeutic approaches may include: cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, trauma-informed care and behaviorally-based interventions. I provide services to children and adolescents that may have experienced trauma, (e.g. physical, emotional, sexual, due to neglect, exposure to violence, etc.), struggle with anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, behavioral and attachment issues (relating to adoption, foster care, parental conflict/mental health issues) and family conflict.P
