We are a group practice of fully licensed, independent therapists located in and serving MD and DC via telehealth with immediate openings! My personal schedule is full, but please contact me to schedule with one of our other fully licensed and experienced therapists at Tau Counseling Services. I can provide a free phone consultation to match you with the right person for your needs. - Denise
I help my clients become more resilient, learn better ways of coping, build healthy boundaries, communicate with assertion and compassion, reduce symptoms of anger, depression, anxiety, and create safe relationships. I also work to help those struggling with personality disorders and those who have been subject to narcissistic abuse.
My style is warm, collaborative, and most folks find me pretty funny! I’m committed to making therapy accessible and inclusive for all, and I strive to create a safe, affirming space where healing can begin. If you're ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to support you. Let’s work together to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and connected.

The main issues I help with include depression, anxiety, bi-polar, relationships, survivors of narcissistic abuse, stress, lifestyle balance, parenting, adjustment to change, anger/shame and sober support. Sometimes unconscious core beliefs about ourselves and the world keep us stuck in unhelpful patterns which we can untangle together over time.
