Deni received her Master’s Degree in Social Work (MSW) from the University of California, Long Beach, and has worked as a mental health therapist in the Sacramento area since 1994.

She opened her practice in 1997 and also served as a Clinical Supervisor for various agencies between 2004 and 2017.

As a certified spiritual director, Deni brings interfaith spiritual awareness to her counseling work. If a client has a spiritual orientation and wishes to include it in their therapy, Deni is trained to do so.

My approach to therapy is to empower clients to tap into their own strengths and resources to make the necessary changes in their lives.

This includes finding solutions to problems, creating paths in life to achieve realistic goals, changing behaviors that have led to negative outcomes, and gaining the strength to accept things that cannot be changed.
