More about Denise

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW-C

As a licensed therapist in Maryland, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on compassionate, holistic care, with a deep understanding of challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I'm particularly passionate about helping clients develop self-compassion, improve communication, and overcome social anxiety.

My therapeutic work focuses on empowering individuals to reconnect with their inner strength, especially those experiencing isolation, workplace stress, or personal transformations like divorce or pregnancy. I offer a faith-sensitive approach that respects each person's unique spiritual journey and personal growth.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore difficult emotions, heal from past experiences, and develop healthier coping strategies. My goal is to walk alongside you as you rediscover purpose, build resilience, and cultivate meaningful connections in your life.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
