Denise is very warm welcoming she takes the time to actively listen to my thoughts and really helps me to identify what the issues are and how I can control them without letting it control me. She works with professionalism and her voice is just soothing to listen to lols.

I was always scared to go to therapy for the fear of having a therapist that just made me feel worse about myself or invalidated what’s happened to me like I do to myself but Denise is so reassuring and validating but not in a way that enables me but encourages me to be better. I have already come such a long way since meeting with her and I am beyond thankful that I got paired with her. She really knows her stuff and is so kind.
