Denise specializes in offering pastoral counseling and spiritual direction for those struggling with abuse, anxiety, depression, marriage, and identity struggles (Galatians 6:2). She firmly believes that God can redeem any life no matter the hurt and destruction and strives to bring this into the counseling relationship through her nurturing style. Denise has had a variety of different experiences which has influenced her ministry over the years including being a leader in the church (women’s groups, commissioned coach, marriage conferences, and community support), working as a registered nurse, and pioneering faith-based support groups. She believes with all her heart that whom the Son sets free, is free indeed (John 8:36). Denise is passionate about loving people (John 15:12). She desires to offer hope and freedom through Biblical foundation. You are defined by God, not what you have been through. Her ministry is to bring truth about your identity in Christ, providing support along your healing journey, then understanding and learning how to trust God with your heart to not just survive but thrive in life.
