Hi! I'm Dena (she/her).
I have over 15 years experience and truly love my vocation! I enjoy
empowering individuals to achieve their goals in therapy and to live their best
lives. I believe everyone has the ability to heal; sometimes we all need a little
help. I have provided therapy in both the public and private sectors, in
inpatient, outpatient, in-home, and remote settings. I have provided services
in the greater Los Angeles area, San Diego, Phoenix and Maricopa County,
Iowa State University, and most recently, remotely in Illinois.
I have worked with individuals with a variety of general and serious mental
health concerns across the lifespan, from young children to octogenarians. I
have specific interest in adolescence and young adulthood, in concerns
related to (potentially) identifying as LGBTQIA+, neurodivergence, and those
with co-occurring chronic illness/disabilities. As a Board Certified
Rehabilitation Counselor, I have additional specialization in helping clients
with disabilities to cope with this impact in their educational, professional, and
daily lives.
My therapeutic approach is eclectic, based in person-centered, feminist, and
culturally informed practice. Therapeutic modalities are based upon your
current strengths and needs. Examples of different modalities include:
Motivational interviewing, mindfulness and meditation techniques, journaling,
rational emotive behavioral, narrative restructuring, and trauma informed care.
I believe developing greater resilience can aid everyone!
I enjoy socializing with my local LGBTQ+ group, disability advocacy, riding my
bike, reading, and playing board & video games. I am married, and bonus
mom to three young adults and an old Beagle named Frodo. A Siamese
named Indy calls me his.
