Hi! My name is Jenn! I believe that healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and accepted. Life has taught me the importance of kindness, compassion, open-mindedness, and the power of having someone beside you when life feels overwhelming and raw.

I've worked with a multitude of diagnosis and in many practice settings. My current focuses are addictions, anxiety, depression, chronic illnesses, trauma, and eating disorders. Really, I am here to create a space to help you learn how to navigate life a little softer.

Mary Goggins

Therapist

Virtual • Colorado


You may look like you are holding everything together while feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted underneath. I work with adults navigating trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, substance use and recovery, co-occurring concerns, and difficult life transitions.

With 19 years of behavioral health experience, I bring extensive experience in addiction and recovery and am trained in EMDR through the Francine Shapiro EMDR Institute. I understand that people are more than a diagnosis and that the ways we learn to cope often make sense in the context of what we have lived through—even when those same patterns are no longer helping us today.

My style is warm, genuine, and direct. I offer a nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard while also doing meaningful work toward change. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and I tailor therapy to your needs, goals, strengths, and readiness.

I offer IN-PERSON APPOINTMENTS in Goodyear, Arizona, serving the West Valley, as well as virtual therapy throughout Arizona, Wisconsin, Colorado, Michigan, Florida, and New Jersey.

Hi, I’m Dr. Deneice, DNP, MBA, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC. I am a doctoral-prepared, board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and owner of Eden Total Care.


I provide concierge-style virtual psychiatric care for young-feeling adults at any age who are navigating anxiety, depression, insomnia, PTSD, PMDD, ADHD, autism-related concerns, mood symptoms, emotional overwhelm, burnout, and diagnostic uncertainty.

My primary role is psychiatric evaluation and medication management. I also incorporate supportive therapy, life coaching, and holistic guidance when appropriate. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and properly treated — not rushed, dismissed, or reduced to a diagnosis.


Appointment Guide:

• New clients: 40-minute initial assessment

• Returning clients: 20-minute follow-up

• Self-Pay clients: may request longer appointments


Please email or message me before booking an appointment to ensure availability. Limited appointment times are available, and emailing directly is the fastest way to get started.
