Therapist

Virtual • Westerville, OH


You deserve care that honors all of who you are. I'm Denise, an LPCC in Ohio with 30 years of experience supporting adults through trauma, grief, ADHD, chronic illness, and more. I'm affirming and welcoming to LGBTQIA+, transgender, and neurodiverse clients. I'd love to connect.

My background is in special education, which is why neurodiversity like Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, and learning differences are areas where I have real depth, not just familiarity. I've spent years understanding how neurodivergent brains work - and how the mental health system often misses them. I also work with clients who've been hurt by their church, their pastor, or their faith community - what many people now call "church hurt." This is a profoundly underserved area of care, and my training at Trinity Seminary means I'm not approaching it from the outside. I understand the language, the culture, and the specific kind of grief that comes with spiritual betrayal. I treasure my global experience and look forward to working with multi-cultural people, including immigrants and refugees.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I look at the web of relationships and environment that shape who you are. I draw on strengths that you may have overlooked (and help you develop new ones) to get you where you want to go.


I have a seasoned background in both faith-based and nondenominational family dynamics. I have had the honor of helping couples and individuals build healthy parameters for their future. If you are at a crossroads -- whether it is a new phase of life (e.g., marriage, job, separation) or you are simply looking for a fresh approach to life -- I can help.


I view each person as uniquely valuable, interesting, and powerful. Because I am so convinced of your potential, I am committed to spending the quality time you need to recognize these traits in yourself and make a real impact in your relationships. Wherever life finds you at this moment, there is a bright path ahead! Let’s discover it together.

Having the same fight on repeat is exhausting. You know the one, with the same lines, the same tone, and the same ending. Feeling alone in your own relationship is even harder. You're not broken, and you're not the first couple to get stuck.

My focus is couples. I help partners stop the cycle, rebuild trust after infidelity, and reconnect, even when anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, PTSD, grief, or substance use is part of the picture. I'm on both your sides.

For individual work, my focus is women. Opening up to a man takes trust, and I don't take that for granted. I grew up around women who needed a steady, respectful man in their corner, and I've carried that into my work. With me, you set the pace. You won't be rushed, talked over, or told how to feel. You'll be heard, taken seriously, and supported in ways that fit your life.

I'm a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with a Master's in Counseling from a program whose graduates passed the licensing exam at one of the nation's highest rates, plus a background in substance use counseling. My style is direct, warm, and real. Therapy with me doesn't have to feel clinical or intimidating. It just has to feel worth showing up for.
