Denise believes that individuals can build a life worth living. Often, individuals struggling with emotional and mental health challenges grew up in a non-validating environment and did not learn effective coping skills. She is committed to the belief that knowledge is power, and has great hope that clients who are committed to counseling in a safe, honest and validating environment will decrease their emotional and mental distress. She specializes in evidence-based DBT and ACT therapies for individuals with borderline-personality traits (emotional deregulation, self-harm, suicidal thoughts and difficulties with relationships), addiction, anxiety, and crisis resolution. Denise has a Master’s Degree and experience in gerontology and is passionate about working with the older adult population and their caregivers.

After spending 24 years devoted to serving our country in the U.S. Air Force I realized that I had a gift/passion for helping others through their personal crises and traumatic experiences. Upon my retirement from the military, I pursued a degree in Mental Health Counseling. In August 2014 I received my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Argosy University in Draper, Utah; and finished an internship at the House of Hope working in addiction and recovery. Following my internship I served as a therapist dealing with the spectrum, ADHD, RAD, and behavioral adolescents at Waterfall Canyon Academy; after which, I worked at the St. Anthony Utah House working primarily with children and adolescents who were coping with trauma/behavioral issues. On November 6, 2018, I joined the Highland Springs Clearfield team. In my off time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and family, walking my dog, camping, ATV riding, and site-seeing.
