I am a Clinical Social worker licensed in Pennsylvania with almost 20 years of experience providing behavioral health counseling to children, adolescents and adults. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, anger issues, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse, as well as those struggling with addiction. I have over 10 years experience providing crisis assessments to Civilians and Veterans who experience suicidality.
My counseling style is warm and compassionate. I believe recovery is possible and look forward to walking that journey with you. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, solution-focused and trauma -informed. You are the leader of our team, and together we will devise a treatment plan to meet your specific needs.
It is my honor and privilege to be a part of your recovery and wellness. You deserve to live your life to your full potential!

Denise feels like a good friend that checks in on you to see how you're doing. She is not only a great listener, but she also adds unique perspective to make you think about situations in different ways. The tools that she has given me to use between sessions have been valuable gifts to my self-growth and discovery journey.

Denise is caring and a fantastic listener. She makes you feel heard and understood. She also pushes me to confront my demons and to work through them rather then let them define me.

Working with Denise has been amazing. She has helped me with my personal growth, has helped me identify my trauma, and is giving me the tools to work on it. Before I started I was scared of therapy and now I love it! Denise balances compassion, objectivity, and her clinical approach really well. I highly recommend her to anyone dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Denise is an incredibly supportive and compassionate therapist. She’s been absolutely wonderful in helping me, and has taught me so many techniques that I can actually use daily and have significantly improved my mental health. I couldn’t have asked for a better therapist to help me with where I’m at!!
