'I believe in the power of courage and self-determination. Too often we get stuck in the 'Problem'.  With support, information, exploration and encouragement each of us can begin to live in the 'Solution'. My experience as a Social Worker has allowed me to see lives change. We all have dark days and, we  can find  a place of  'reasonable contentedness' and peace.'

Peace ~ Denise

I work as an integrative psychotherapist.  Each individual I work with is unique and I believe there is not a one size fits all approach.  I meet the individual where they are in the present moment and work from there.  I believe that the ability to reach a sense of calm, satisfaction, and peace within oneself is attainable.   I am experienced in person centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy.  The underlying principles of the person centered approach are based on a foundation of empathy, unconditional positive regard and authenticity.  This approach is very effective with many individuals.  There are times when individuals thrive on a cognitive based approach, for example, when they struggle with negative thinking patterns.  It is with these individuals that I incorporate dialectical behavioral and cognitive behavioral skills with much success.
