Starting therapy is a brave step and understanding your own story can be tough, but it’s worth it. My goal is to create a space where you can just be yourself, knowing that all parts of you will be met with compassion, expertise, patience and respect. Therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all process, so I adjust my approach to fit your needs. By blending various therapeutic frameworks, I help you explore the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, moving towards greater self-understanding and change. My down-to-earth style emphasizes collaboration, safety, and a touch of humor as we work together to navigate challenges and build resilience.

Denise Hamilton was helpful with a difficult issue I had dealing with the death of an ex husband. She is direct in a gentle way. I appreciated that she would check in between sessions. I recommend Denise for compassion and intelligence.
