Hi! I'm Dena (she/her).
With over 15 years of experience, I am passionate about empowering individuals to achieve their goals and live their best lives. I believe everyone can heal with a little help. My work spans public and private sectors, inpatient and outpatient settings, both in-person and remotely, across locations like Southern California, Phoenix, and Iowa State University.
I enjoy working with all ages, especially teens and young adults, focusing on issues such as relationships, stress and anxiety, LGBTQIA+ identities, neurodivergence, mood disorders, and chronic illnesses. As a Board Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, I specialize in supporting clients with disabilities in their educational and professional lives.
My eclectic therapeutic approach is tailored to your strengths and needs, incorporating modalities like motivational interviewing, mindfulness, journaling, and trauma-informed care. I’m currently expanding my skills in EMDR and somatic techniques, believing that resilience is key to healing.
Outside of work, I enjoy socializing with my local LGBTQ+ group, advocating for disability rights, biking, reading, and playing games with my family. I’m married and a bonus mom to three young adults, complemented by our old Beagle, Frodo, and Siamese cat, Indy.
