Denise has been great for me. She lets me talk when I have a lot to say and asks good questions without pressuring me when I am not feeling up to it.

Hi :-) I am an experienced licensed mental health provider and . I work from a holistic approach, to support your healing of mind, body and spirit. In addition to healing we will work toward feelings of gratitude, abundance and joy. I have supported individuals with depression, trauma histories, self image, life challenges and parenting of infants and young children. I have worked in community mental health, private practice and spent the past many years working with military members and their families.
I am respectful, non-judgemental and kind. I keep your goals and needs as priority in the work we do. It takes effort to put yourself out there and I hope to be able to support you with your growth and healing.
I look forward to meeting you.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Great therapist
Denise has been great for me. She lets me talk when I have a lot to say and asks good questions without pressuring me when I am not feeling up to it.
I've been having counselling with Denise for several months now. Before having counselling I was extremely sceptical as to whether counselling would be right for me or does if even work....now I would recommend counselling to anyone that I thought needed it. The support and understanding Denise has given me as been invaluable. Denise has very much become a part of my life, I find my self thinking what would Denise say right now....
One month into my weekly sessions, the help I've had already has been invaluable. Feeling so much more positive.
I am really enjoying working with Denise. She is incredibly personable and authentic which makes this process a lot less intimidating. She also offers lots of different options to try and is very honest with her own experiences. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Denise to other people thinking of trying this type of therapy for the first time
