Dena applies techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, humanistic modalities, and strength-based approaches to therapy. She uses solution-focused and mindfulness-based methods to help her clients meet their therapy goals. Because of her experience in the health care setting, she meets clients where they are and is able to build rapport quickly with genuine concern. "The time in therapy is your own and is offered in a judgment-free zone. You are unique and you have a lot to offer others, the community, and the world around you," says Dena. She is passionate about helping to provide you with tools for coping with life’s transitions and challenges, all the while helping you to grow so that you can live your best life.
