More about Denise
- 19 years' experience

- LCSW
I am a Clinical Social worker licensed in Pennsylvania with almost 20 years of experience providing behavioral health counseling to children, adolescents and adults. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, anger issues, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse, as well as those struggling with addiction. I have over 10 years experience providing crisis assessments to Civilians and Veterans who experience suicidality.
My counseling style is warm and compassionate. I believe recovery is possible and look forward to walking that journey with you. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, solution-focused and trauma -informed. You are the leader of our team, and together we will devise a treatment plan to meet your specific needs.
It is my honor and privilege to be a part of your recovery and wellness. You deserve to live your life to your full potential!
I look forward to working with you!

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.

Denise is caring and a fantastic listener. She makes you feel heard and understood. She also pushes me to confront my demons and to work through them rather then let them define me.
Working with Denise has been amazing. She has helped me with my personal growth, has helped me identify my trauma, and is giving me the tools to work on it. Before I started I was scared of therapy and now I love it! Denise balances compassion, objectivity, and her clinical approach really well. I highly recommend her to anyone dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Denise is an incredibly supportive and compassionate therapist. She’s been absolutely wonderful in helping me, and has taught me so many techniques that I can actually use daily and have significantly improved my mental health. I couldn’t have asked for a better therapist to help me with where I’m at!!
Denise was understanding and caring. I'm glad to have worked with her while I lived in Pennsylvania.
I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Denise. This being my first experience with counseling, I was unsure of how the process would work and who I would be exposed to, and I truly lucked out getting Denise as my counselor. She is so personable and incredibly easy to open up to, and certainly had a grasp on the things of most importance that I wanted to work on. I learned a great deal about myself through my time with her, and would happily recommend her to anyone I knew!
Very good, listens intently
I'm afraid I wasn't the best client, however, Denise was and is wonderful! She's an excellent counselor and I have no doubt will be helpful for anyone seeking counseling services.
Best counselor I’ve ever had.
