About Denae
She spent 19 years working as a therapist and supervisor in a county Children’s Mental Health Department.

Her caseload included depression, anxiety, attachment concerns, trauma, ADHD, and adoption-related issues.
Denae describes her approach as compassionate and open. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods alongside client-centered and attachment-based work. Sessions focus on clear goals, learning skills, and making small, achievable changes between meetings.
Clients can expect a collaborative tone. Denae aims to create trust so people feel able to be vulnerable and try new patterns. She also draws on experience supporting those affected by grief, addiction, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Practical problem solving is mixed with attention to relationships and emotions. Whether the need is coping with depression or improving communication, she works with each person to map realistic next steps. The emphasis is on steady progress toward a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.
