Denise has the know how to read me immediately. I didn't hold back on conversation, and when I talked about what I thought I needed, she'd already sent me docs/worksheets, and on point suggestions for dealing with my acute stress.

Her skills and encouragement has opened a new perspective that I would never would have figured out by reading self help books or listening to any help podcasts. I have many issues that she breaks down in easy to understand basics and is helping me solve each problem piece by piece.

Denise is very down to earth and what I’ve appreciated the most is how she has used examples of her own life to connect with mine. I look forward to every visit!

I've had a few therapists in my past and none of them even come close to Denise. She is very professional and listens to my life struggles, my ups and downs and explains to me how to go about making my downs sides better. She is amazing at what she does and I highly recommend her.
