About
Who Is Denise the Psychotherapist?
“If you’re looking for a Psychotherapist to passively listen and nod, I’m probably not the one for you.”
I take an active approach, acting as an authentic other (being able to feel and engage with what you are feeling), advocate, and coach for you. I believe that you are the expert and authority over your life, and that I am a guide who can assist you in processing the issues you want to work through.

What I Believe
I believe that talk therapy with a qualified, caring professional is a powerful tool of transformation and should be sought when you are suffering from mental health issues that impede your daily functioning.
I also believe that therapy is a useful tool when you’re looking for life changes but seem to have psychological issues stopping you from making them.

How Does It Work?
I believe change happens when we examine what we believe. I utilize a simple formula: Beliefs + Values = Behaviors (B+V=B)
What you believe and what you value shows up in your behaviors. So, if you want to change your behaviors, you must first examine your belief and value systems.
The specific methods I use to guide clients through this examination vary by person; there is no “one size fits all” in this work. Generally, though I use these modalities to assist in creating change: psychodynamic, narrative, solution focused and cognitive behavioral therapy.
