I first met Denise when i decided to get sober and go into a recovery house in Squamish. I had not much experience with counseling and felt very scared to discuss my problems. She was always happy to see me and really made me feel accepted. She helped a lot and made me see different situations in a different light. After finishing the recovery house i continued to see Denise on a weekly basis. I had many struggles to deal with, now being out in the real world and knowing i had someone to talk too really made a difference in my life. Unfortunately i decided to move away from Squamish and stopped seeing Denise. I would send her the odd email and she always replied with help to continue my sobriety. I would strongly suggest to welcome Denise in your life regarding counseling.

Denise is an excellent counsellor.  She is very knowledgeable about the process of healing from substance abuse as well as other life crises.  Denise listens, supports and validates her counselling clients as well as provides constructive feedback.  If healing and personal growth are your goals, I recommend Denise as a counsellor.  Chris McKay, MSW, RSW Addictions Counsellor - Concurrent Disorders
