Hi, I’m Denise. My goal is to understand your world — to really see what’s shaped you, honor what’s helped you get through, and work together on what might be keeping you stuck. I’m genuine and straightforward, and while I bring warmth into sessions, once we get to know each other, I’m not afraid to challenge you when it helps you grow.

​

My approach is relational and collaborative. I draw from attachment-based, psychodynamic, interpersonal, and client-centered perspectives — which really just means our connection matters most. Together, we’ll explore how your past experiences show up in the present, recognize patterns that no longer serve you, and create new ways of relating that feel authentic and freeing.

​

Therapy with me tends to be real, reflective, and sometimes even lighthearted when a break from the deep work is needed — a space where you can show up fully as yourself and feel truly understood.

Outside of sessions, I’m a wife, cat mom, and music lover who enjoys playing piano, ukulele, and rock climbing.
