Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello! Thank you for visiting my page.
My name is Denise and I have worked in the mental health field for almost ten years.
I have experience working with adults, adolescents, and children, and have worked with a wide variety of challenges, including depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and other life difficulties.
I am especially interested in working with adolescents, but I am excited to have the opportunity to work with adults as well. Most of the clients in my in-person practice are adults. I am particularly interested in doing message-based and live chat counseling.
My counseling style is a combination of psychodynamic approaches (talking about emotions and working through difficult experiences using traditional “talk therapy” type techniques) and cognitive-behavioral approaches (looking at the relationship between emotions, behaviors, and thoughts, and how influencing one can make us feel better or worse emotionally). I use more of one or the other depending on the person’s preference.
Much research has shown that one of the most important factors in how much a person benefits from counseling is the quality of the relationship between the person and the counselor. So I am glad that you took the time to read my profile and invite you to message me if you have any questions. If you feel like we may be a good fit for each other, I look forward to working with you!

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or coping with life transitions, research indicates that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person treatment.
One major benefit is flexibility. Therapists can meet with clients in the format that fits their lives best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – making it easier to access care without rearranging a whole day.
Licensed professionals provide these services, and if a different therapeutic fit is needed, clients generally have the option to switch therapists. This combination of demonstrated effectiveness and convenient access makes online therapy a practical option for many people seeking support.
