About
You didn’t deserve what happened to you. If you’re a Christian who came out of a narcissistic or toxic relationship doubting your own memory, your worth, even your faith, you are not imagining it. I’m Denise, a warm, faith-integrated therapist, and I help believers heal from narcissistic abuse, childhood trauma, and the wounds that leave you feeling worthless. I won’t hand you “God never gives you more than you can handle.” I will sit with you honestly, gently challenge the lies that have kept you stuck, and help you see yourself the way God already does: worthy, made in His image. I use trauma-informed DBT, CBT, and ACT, woven with your faith. Telehealth across Michigan, most insurance and Medicaid accepted. Call for a free 15-minute consultation.
