I had Denise as a counselor for a few months and stopped sessions due to my schedule and we had worked through most of my issues. I loved working with her. More life events happened that I struggled with and I immediately signed back up for sessions with Denise because she has been so supportive and helpful for me.

Denise is a friendly, patient and understanding counselor. She’s able to identify problem areas and come up with solutions to address them. I highly recommend her.

Denise helped me through the toughest moment of my life. I’m a person that hasn’t experienced so many inconveniences in life and in a span of 4 months, experienced it all. I went through loss of family members, a loss of a pet, a car accident, personal hardship and feeling extremely anxious and overwhelmed. She is so knowledgeable and helpful. She is an amazing listener and I really appreciate her. She helped me navigate my feelings and help me understand why I was feeling the way I did. I never felt judged! I have tried video and phone call meeting with her and both felt comfortable.
