About me

I am a licensed clinical social worker. I am licensed in Georgia and I have over 25 years over of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with teen clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, school problems, and addiction. I also helped teenagers who have experienced trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, solution focused and acceptance and commitment therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek help and to take steps towards change for a better life. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Denise helped me work through my issues with compassion fatigue and anxiety. She’s a wonderful listener and she consistently provided me with helpful resources in various mediums that she knew I would enjoy (e.g. TedTalks, audiobooks, podcasts etc.). She has definitely provided me with the “tools” I need to help me successfully manage my anxiety moving forward. Highly recommend!

My counselor is very kind and non judgmental. She offers me a variety of ways to cope. She allows me to speak freely. I feel she truly cares about me and what I have to say.
