Denise's career in the healing arts has spanned two decades. In addition to providing individual counselling, she facilitates groups/workshops, and is an inspirational speaker. She holds a BA in Counselling Psychology, and is registered with the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association. Compassion and a trans-personal perspective are at the heart of her practice. Denise's journey through a life threatening illness gave her an enlightened perspective on living which she incorporates into her work. She is passionate about empowering clients to tap into their innate resources so that they can increase their effectiveness in all areas of their lives.

Denise believes that clients already have everything within them, that they need to facilitate change. Sometimes all that's required is a guide to help them see the light at the end of the tunnel. She uses her warmth, insight, and non-judgmental manner to meet clients where they're at. A living example of not only surviving...but thriving, Denise's vision is to help others to do the same.

Denise's practice focuses on the following:

• Self-Esteem/Self-Awareness
• Women's Issues
• Cancer Recovery
• Teenagers
• Spiritual Growth/Life Purpose
• Personal Growth/Empowerment
• Anxiety/Stress
• Life Transitions
• Family of Origin Work
  
• Separation/Divorce
• Overcoming Childhood Trauma
• Adult Children of Alcoholics

She has also trained in Addictions Counselling, S.A.F.E.R. (Suicide Attempt Follow-up Education & Research), and Crisis Intervention. As well, she offers a 6-week workshop called "Journey Back to Self" on self-esteem, and a 12-week workshop called "Sacred Journey" on picking up the pieces of life after a cancer diagnosis.

Denise is a single mother of two teenage daughters who are her greatest teachers. In life and in work, she leads with her heart in providing a compassionate space of safety, acceptance, and respect.
