Hello and welcome! My goal in therapy is to help you navigate the challenges you have in life through understanding your past experiences, relational wounds, and current situation. You are the true expert on yourself, and even so, sometimes life is difficult. During these times you can feel stuck and at a loss for how to make meaningful change. I'm here to serve as a guide, helping you explore your past and present with empathy, humor, curiosity, and ever increasing self-compassion.

I am a licensed professional counselor who began as a pastor counseling individuals, couples, and families over 30 years ago. It is my greatest joy and honor to help people work through difficult issues, overcome obstacles that have been holding them back, and maximize their potential. I enjoy working with creative people and especially artistic college students. I see a number of student and professional musicians, artists, writers and photographers.

Counseling is a journey and admitting that you need help is one of the hardest and most rewarding things you will do. This is an active journey that we will take together. Often we feel that activity and movement will help us to feel better, but underneath that unrest is a range of psychological processes such as depression, overwhelming stress, perfectionism, and anxiety. Choosing to ignore your issues tends to make life more difficult and places a strain on your relationships. Through our counseling relationship we will create goals, set the pace and find your path of healing.

Hello! I'm Dena with Strong Hope Counseling Center. I have a heart for helping populations that deal with compassion fatigue and burnout. I am passionate about helping empathic people create a balance when they struggle to do it for themselves. I also love to work with couples on creating and maintaining healthy communication and boundary setting in order to help them regain and foster connection.

I believe in healing through therapeutic relationship. Establishing trust creates a safe container in which to experience change. I am LGBTQIA+-allied, BIPOC-allied, and I also work with cis-white folx who are working on reducing their contribution to and healing trauma associated with white supremacy and capitalist patriarchy. My graduate work was at Naropa University, where I deeply connected with the Buddhist roots of my education. I welcome people from all religions and backgrounds, and often incorporate mindfulness practices into sessions.

Life is full of inevitable difficulties, and how you approach them matters. In sessions, I work to provide a supportive environment where you can feel safe to untangle your thoughts and feelings. As I work alongside you, I aim to use feedback, honesty, compassion, empathy, and humor to help you find healing and a better understanding of yourself. I apply my cultural background, education, and experiences with trauma-informed care to create my own unique philosophy in helping others; the main pillar of that philosophy being self-awareness.

I specialize in all forms of trauma and have been formally trained in trauma focused CBT . I am a default helper as well as a meticulous problem-solver.

Please leave the name of your insurance when you contact me so I can best serve you. Adults, children, adolescents, and their families are welcomed in my private practice, and playroom for the children. My specialty for over 25 years has been working with children, adolescents, and their families. After becoming a Level II EMDR trauma therapist in the past 20 years, I have worked with many adults challenged by difficulties. Both my adult and child clients are often faced with depression, anxiety, and grief commonly created by divorce, death, adoption, abuse, and feelings of hopelessness, anger, and poor self-esteem.

I strongly believe that YOU are the expert on yourself. That being said, at times it is helpful to have a trained professional to support you in exploring places you may feel stuck in life, unhelpful patterns, and strategies for growing and moving forward.

My goal is to create a non-judgmental, open-minded atmosphere in which you can feel free to share your story. I invite you to engage in an exploration of who you are, discover who and where you want to be and work through your journey of self-discovery. We will work together to search for and develop tools to help you cope with what life throws at you and maintain confidence in knowing who you are. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach as I find that approaches such as; solution-focused, mindfulness, CBT and individual therapy have been most useful in developing an integrated approach that works for my clients.

(Currently I am taking new clients). Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not getting anywhere better or different? Perhaps a life change that is out of your control has reduced your quality of life? Struggling on any level is painful and leaves us feeling isolated, stuck, and without support or knowing how to deal. The combination of life’s stresses with ineffective coping creates anxiety, depression, negative thought patterns, and overall unhappiness – a downward spiral that can impact any of us. Therapy is a great way to break old cycles and introduce new perspectives and tools to engage in life in a healthy and positive way.

Stressed out? Feeling anxious? Our modern society keeps most of us in constant motion and on high alert. I help athletes, worriers, and those that are accustom to demanding a lot of themselves reduce symptoms, get back to a high level of functioning, and successfully navigate life's changes.

I am a strong believer in meeting you where you are. My passion for helping comes from a belief that all people have unique and amazing things to offer. Every one of us has personal challenges and I believe that my role as a clinician is to help you work through these challenges in order to allow your strengths to shine. I want to help you be the most content and fulfilled version of yourself.
