I'm Denise, LMFT, The WhysCounselor. If you're a high-achieving professional struggling with anxiety, relationship conflicts, or the deep pain of betrayal trauma, you need specialized support to find sustainable resilience. Your inner critic and persistent stress don't have to define you.
I guide motivated clients to invest in lasting change. My approach uses proven methods to strengthen your ability to respond to challenges with self-kindness (your "Soothing Gear"), not self-judgment. We develop adaptive coping to restore inner safety and high performance without exhaustion.

During the past 30 years of working as a psychotherapist, I have helped people with anxiety, depression, loss, relationship and work issues, and often just a general sense that something isn't right. As a Jungian and relational therapist, I am empathic, nonjudgemental, nonpatholgizing, and deeply interested in the uniqueness of each human being who comes to me. Warm and down-to-earth, I enjoy exploring deeper levels of experience but can be practical and provide suggestions and tools when that is what is needed.

If you are here, I imagine you are looking for relief. Relief from feeling stuck in your personal or professional life, relief from feelings of not being ‘good enough’, relief from feelings of worry or hopelessness. In my almost thirty years of experience as a psychotherapist I have helped people time and again to get relief from the uncertainty of the present and/or the pain of the past, by creating a warm and trusting relationship through which I support them in moving forward in their lives.

Deciding to seek out and find the right therapist, either for you or for a loved one, can be challenging. There are many variables to consider, and the task can be overwhelming. I work with people who struggle with issues related to identity, mood, life transitions, interpersonal conflict, trauma, and resistance to therapy, often because it is mandated. I provide a safe space where you can discuss the details of your challenges and ground the clinical work in the context of the therapeutic relationship.

You may be feeling like something is wrong but aren’t sure why. Perhaps others see you as successful but to you it feels like something is missing.

I help people who are struggling with anxiety, healing from past trauma, grappling with dissatisfaction in career or relationships, and facing life transitions. I bring my authentic self to our sessions and care about creating a space where you feel safe and affirmed in your identity.

Have you gotten good at holding things together? On the outside, you may seem grounded, capable, even successful—but inside, something feels off. Maybe you’ve noticed patterns in your relationships that don’t work, or you feel isolated, unsure where you fit in. If that resonates, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
As a gay Afro-Caribbean man who immigrated to the U.S., I understand what it’s like to navigate multiple worlds—within yourself, others and the world around you. My work centers on supporting all men, or gay or queer men—especially those from Black and Brown communities.

For over 20 years I have been supporting people through difficult times. Talking together in ways which nurture curiosity and compassion, we will look at what troubles you, what brings you hope. We will be attentive to the past, and any past traumas, and yet our focus will be on how the past's legacy is impacting your life now. Whatever you are up against––feelings of anxiety, depression, low self-worth, shame, loneliness–– we will work together to unburden you of past pains and to create a greater sense of calm, ease, and connectedness in your life.

Are you asking, How can I find love? or, What is missing in my relationships? Are you stuck in complaining and blaming, or avoiding and withholding? Are you noticing your relationship struggles make you feel lonelier rather than more open to each other? I provide an environment of safety where you may explore how you are stuck and how your persistent conflicts spoil your potential for intimacy. Tracking the repetitive patterns of communication, and the stories which confirm your most negative beliefs, I will strengthen your awareness to the influences that affect whether you keep repeating old patterns or open to real change.
