Denise is amazing!! So kind and compassionate. She really listens and you know it because she’ll mention something from a month or two ago you said and tie it back. Really talked through some tough things in life with her and always feel supported and look forward to the next convo!

Denise listens thoughtfully and asks very questions that enhance dialogue and thought process. She takes you to sort of uncomfortable but necessary places. She’s been very helpful and compassionate. I feel very grateful for her guidance.
