More about Denise
- 40 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, who has specialized in working with children with trauma histories for over 40 years. I have worked in the school setting, including alternative schools, non-profit agencies and privately, with probation-referred, foster and adoptive children, as well as special needs children. I do not work with children in an online format, but offer counseling, support and guidance for parents, foster and adoptive parents, or relative caregivers, such as grandparents raising grandkids. My passion is helping caregivers understand challenging behaviors in children affected by trauma and helping caregivers learn new approaches that help children at home - the best place for healing to occur. I understand that challenging behaviors can cause great frustration, stress, and discouragement. I am here to help! Over my many years of experience, I have discovered several trauma-responsive approaches that I am passionate about sharing with parents.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
