Therapy Services

Denise is an LCSW licensed in Arizona and provides mental health therapy services to Arizona residents. She integrates a culturally-affirming framework into her practice, which involves honoring and understanding the complex intersectionality of identity, culture, and experiences. Denise utilizes a strengths-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed approach to therapy, emphasizing collaboration between the client and therapist. In this process, you—the client—are viewed as the expert in your own life and therapy journey. Your strengths and resilience are central to overcoming challenges, while carefully considering the impact of trauma and systemic factors that shape your experiences and identity. Denise’s therapeutic approach draws from a variety of modalities, including Brainspotting therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, somatic approaches, and other culturally relevant therapeutic practices. She is committed to creating a space where therapy is personalized to your unique needs, honoring your cultural identity and the healing practices that resonate with you. Denise encourages open dialogue, whether this is your first experience in therapy or not, to ensure the process remains flexible and responsive to what works best for you. This collaborative approach fosters an environment where you can explore healing in a way that is deeply personal and aligned with your values and experiences.
