My therapist was extremely diligent in listening to everything that was wrong and helping me to realize the true root cause of what was wrong. New perspectives were always brought to light and honestly I never would’ve noticed them without her!

- LCPC
Hi there! I am an Illinois licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience in counseling, art therapy, substance abuse counseling, health and wellness coaching, and clinical supervision. I have had the privilege of working with a diverse client base, including both teens and adults, and addressing a range of issues such as mood disorders, addictions, anger management, life transitions, relationship building, communication, and motivation. Additionally, I have helped individuals heal from trauma, abuse, grief, and loss.
My approach to therapy is a combined one, tailored to each individual. I use client-centered, cognitive-behavioral, insight practices, solution-focused, strengths-based, and Motivational Interviewing techniques. I believe in the power of authentic relationships, rooted in respect and being fully present with my clients. My ultimate goal is to help individuals identify and truly understand their innate abilities and personal power to achieve their goals and succeed.
As a therapist, I strive to be patient, empathetic, and always willing to listen. I understand that life can be overwhelming at times, and that's why I'm here to support you through the process of meaningful change. If you're ready to start your journey toward personal growth and healing, I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Denise is extremely professional and authentic. She is wonderful to work with.
She is the best therapist I ever had!
I highly remind Denise! When I came to her I was having a lot of trouble, and really needed someone to listen and give feedback. Denise let me talk my head off, and within the very short times I gave her to respond always did a great job helping me make new realization about myself. She’s the best!
I was apprehensive about therapy at first. Had some negative experiences elsewhere in the past, but I knew I needed to talk to someone. Buckled down, and got matched with Denise. She's a really great therapist. She listens, she's on the ball with asking questions and letting you just talk and guide the process. She's great!
Denise was so helpful to me last year that she was the first person I thought of when I needed help again.
Amazing therapist!!
Denise has truly changed my life. She listens to me. She helps me create goals while guiding me in a way that helps me achieve them. She is the best!
I have seen therapist and it took me years to get to the root of the problem. One session with Denise and I had a plan in motion. I can say it was a success.
Great! Looking forward to future sessions!
good
Denise helped me out of a very dark place in my life and I will be forever grateful for her and her support.
Denise is wonderful. She's a great listener and has given me some great advice with strategies to help with my problem. I'm so glad I decided to use Betterhelp.
I have only met with Denise a couple times, but she has made a difference in my life already! She not only listens to me, but she truly tries to find the root of any problem I am having. Most importantly we work together on how I can overcome these problems.
Denise is amazing and she deserves a big fat bonus. Great listener, great advice, and would highly recommend. Im sure shes extremely busy eith many patients but still checks in with me regularly. 6 stars out of 5. Very grateful for Denise.
