About Denise
She focuses on the effects of trauma, including both large traumatic events and smaller painful memories that keep replaying. Denise uses approaches that help process those memories and reduce their hold on daily life. She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship challenges, anger, addiction, parenting strain, and work or career stress.
Her style is collaborative and practical. She helps clients identify strengths and build on them. Denise uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and somatic practices to address thoughts, feelings, and bodily reactions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is part of her toolkit for trauma work.
Denise pays attention to the person’s whole environment and how it affects coping and recovery. She will include a Christian perspective if a client asks, and will otherwise keep faith out of the work. Mutual respect guides each session and the pace is set by the client.

How Denise’s Approaches Fit Online
Denise uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people manage stress and anxiety. Client-centered work means the therapist follows the person’s lead, listens closely, and builds on each person’s strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms.She also uses EMDR for trauma processing when it fits the client’s needs. EMDR helps people reprocess distressing memories so they lose some of their emotional charge; it can be useful for both big traumatic events and smaller wounds that keep coming back.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Denise will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative planning lets sessions adjust over time if something isn’t helpful.
