What’s it like to work with me?
I could tell you about the breakthroughs, bold choices, and soul-deep shifts that happen in my coaching space—but I’d rather let my clients share it in their own words.
Below, you’ll hear from therapists, executives, and purpose-driven professionals who’ve all had one thing in common: a deep inner knowing that it was time to reclaim their truth and create a life that lights them up.
“Denise is a coach’s coach.
She is my speed-dial colleague whom I go to when I have an urgent business matter, need an ethics consult, or need to work through a personal concern.
She has an unbelievable toolbox and has more training and experience than most mental health counselors, including trauma-informed coaching, somatics, NLP, Socratic method, parts work, bilateral stimulation, cognitive behavioral, and dialectical behavioral.
She knows how to build safety & trust through her heart-based presence and astute compassionate questioning. Her clients gain rapid progress through her collaborative approach and invitational style.
Denise has helped me cut through the red tape of my analysis paralysis both personally and professionally. This has positively freed up mental space, helped me open my heart in friendships, and has also increased my financial and emotional abundance.
I can’t say enough good things about Denise’s ethics, competence, and intelligence. And she generously shares her gifts with fellow coaches and clients alike.”
“Denise is the best!
I’m a clinical psychologist and I worked with Denise for a couple years for support in making a career pivot from academia to starting my own private practice and training/consulting business. It’s been a resounding success, and I couldn’t have done it without her.
Denise helped me tease out what I’m most passionate about, and was invaluable in developing my business plan and marketing strategy. While I’m now up and running, I plan on continuing to reach out to Denise for consultation on an ad hoc basis as my businesses continue to grow.
On an interpersonal level, Denise was a joy to work with—personable, reliable, and a great communicator. Five stars!”
“The impact of working with Denise exceeded all my expectations.
She helped me develop invaluable communication strategies and tools, guiding me through difficult and high-stakes conversations, including moments of conflict. Thanks to Denise, I now communicate with greater clarity, and my viewpoints are more effectively heard and acknowledged.
Denise also helped me identify my core values and understand how certain actions from others, both in the workplace and in my personal life, triggered emotional reactions based on these values. This deepened self-awareness has been transformative, enabling me to better reflect on my responses. As someone who is neurodivergent, this understanding has been crucial, positively impacting both my professional and personal life.
Denise created a safe, supportive space where I could discuss my neurodivergence and personal challenges. This, in turn, fostered a sense of self-acceptance and confidence that I hadn’t experienced before, even after working with psychologists in a clinical setting. She also helped me manage stress more effectively and strike a better work-life balance.
Beyond these life-changing improvements, Denise was always there as a sounding board, offering support and guidance in numerous areas. She even helped me finalize my presentation for my promotion panel.
I am truly grateful for Denise’s guidance and support. Working with her has made me a better, more confident person, and I can say without a doubt that she has had an immensely positive impact on my life.”
“Words cannot begin to express how much I appreciate Denise’s impact in my life.
She coached and navigated me through a major career change and dug deep to help me figure out what I truly value in life, and how I can align my career to that.
I originally sought out Denise due to feeling stuck. I really enjoy helping people, and I felt like if I quit my job as a people leader, I would be letting down my team.
Regardless of how the job made me feel so unhappy and stressed most of the time, I felt the urge to “hang in there” for my staff. It became more destructive to my mental health and I was past the point of burnout.
I had started to apply for various other positions, which was A LOT of work as I had no idea what I wanted to be doing, but was just so burned out that I just put my resume out to multiple different job types.
I realized I was spending a lot of time applying for other jobs, but because I had a current job, I was not putting the right time or energy into the application, or even really applying for the job I WANTED.
As I started to work with Denise, and learn more about myself, I learned a lot about my energy levels and how my current job was not aligning, or allowing me to have a career that synced up with my personal values.
I was compromising the things in my life that I cared the most about, which was fueling the burnout further and making me more unhappy. Denise really helped me to uncover these items, and realize all of the things in my current job that were leading to stress for the majority of the working day.
She helped me ditch the feelings of guilt, and realize that I can put my own oxygen mask on first before helping others, and provided me with the tools to do so.
I now see opportunities to do the things I love with my family, and be able to find joy in my work that refuels my tank to want to keep doing the activities and professional development opportunities that I am passionate about.
I HIGHLY recommend Denise for her expertise and her unwavering compassion in helping me through my individualized journey.”
“Working with Denise was truly life-changing.
She’s unlike any other coach I’ve ever encountered—deeply present, wildly empathetic, and incredibly intuitive. Denise helped me uncover opportunities I didn’t even know I was seeking, and gave me tools I still use every single day.
Our sessions changed how I view work, life, and myself. I’ve healed parts of myself I didn’t know needed healing. I’ve learned to prioritize what matters, refill my own cup, and pursue passions I’d long put on hold. If I had a penny for every time Denise’s words of wisdom helped me make a decision, I’d own a Ferrari by now—no exaggeration.”
“Working with Denise has been nothing short of life-changing.
Each session brings powerful insights, meaningful connections, and a renewed sense of clarity. She has an incredible gift for helping me connect the dots—across my past, present, and future—and see myself and my leadership in new ways.
Denise always meets me where I am with empathy, directness, and just the right questions. Her coaching has helped me break through mental blocks, embrace my strengths, and move forward with confidence. The clarity I’ve gained has reshaped not only how I lead, but how I show up in every area of my life. I’m deeply grateful for the journey we’ve taken together.”
“Meeting with Denise was the highlight of my week.
Her guidance, wisdom, and genuine care helped me grow in both my personal and professional life.
She’s an incredible listener and thought partner—validating what I was feeling while also helping me think strategically through challenges at work and in life.
Whether we were planning for high-stakes conversations, designing feedback systems, or unpacking emotional moments, Denise always struck the perfect balance of practical and meaningful.
I feel so lucky to have had her by my side during a pivotal chapter of my career.”
“I genuinely want to thank you for our time together.
I absolutely chose the right coach the first time around; our sessions have brought about immense and lasting change for me personally and professionally.
You’ve helped me achieve goals that would have taken substantially longer had I not been under your guidance, and given me lessons I’ll carry with me well into the future.
I appreciate you as a leader, a coach, and as a genuinely good person. A light in this world we too seldom see. Thank you again for bringing your light into my world.”
