Great to meet you! I am Denise. I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience. I specialize in creating safe containers for patients to discover their own power and ability to heal. Working together, leveraging therapeutic exploration, empowerment, and inspiring you to understand the mind, body and spirit connection for whole health. You will discover your own truth and learn to expand yourself and your life to be the medicine and become your own hero.
I keep therapy focused on you as we walk together on your healing journey. I help people discover what is underneath the pain. stress, and anxiety so they can create a life filled with joy and peace. I also teach ways to connect to yourself through breath, mindfulness, and spiritual connection.
I create a space where you feel at home. We will engage in authentic conversations that are targeted to helping you heal. I know that stepping into therapy can be uncomfortable, but I hope you decide to take a moment and see how I can help assist on your healing journey. “A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step” – Lao Tzu.

I often use interpersonal therapy in conjunction with mindfulness based practices. I also use psychodynamic therapy to address underlying life challenges that may have you feeling stuck. I believe that we all have the ability to heal and live a life of abundance, peace, and joy.
