Professional statement

There is no cookie-cutter approach to therapy, so Denise wants to get to know you as an individual. Her approach is trauma-informed, and often incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Processing to help you overcome unhealthy patterns and feel more secure and confident. Denise is strongly committed to using scientifically studied, evidence-based treatment to help clients improve their mental health and wellbeing.

Denise places a particular emphasis on Women's Mental Health. Women face a number of mental health challenges due to stigma, gender based discrimination and violence, economic disparities and issues associated with pregnancy, post-partum, premenstrual dysphoric disorder and menopause. Woman-focused, feminist psychotherapy can help you to navigate the unique challenges women face. These include handling the balancing act of the many responsibilities women often have - parenting, relationships, career, family, etc., body image issues, and even overcoming the impact of discrimination, sexual harassment and domestic violence. Therapy can validate, support and empower you to handle everyday pressures, to heal from any past pain and move forward in a healthy direction.

Denise currently offers telehealth individual psychotherapy through a HIPAA compliant, secure platform. She is licensed to see clients in Massachusetts, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon and Washington state.

Message to clients

My goal as a therapist is to help you take the driver's seat in your own life. A history of trauma, experiencing depression, anxiety, or ADHD, coping with life changes, and dealing with the stress of relationships, family, work, school, and all the challenges that life throws at us can lead us to feel out of control and demoralized. I want to help you understand yourself better, your thoughts, and your mind, as well as teach you coping skills to empower you to live your healthiest, happiest life.

I know it can be intimidating to start therapy. I like to use a sense of humor and warmth to build a great relationship based on mutual respect and understanding so you feel comfortable to share and be yourself. I hope that I get a chance to know you and help you to work through any difficulties that you are facing and build a better life.
