I don’t judge. I couldn’t. I have lived through abuse, addiction, death, depression, divorce and financial hardships – my own, as well as family and friends. I have survived various forms of counseling, so I appreciate the flood of emotions before, during and after. Yet, I recognize that the journey through life, and the resulting mix of emotions, is unique to each person. Please know, during times of emotional confusion and uncertainty, you do not have to walk alone. What I can offer you is hope in a safe, warm, welcoming environment, in which you are able to uncover your true wants and desires. In this way you are better able to create a life of health, success and fulfillment, and enter into lasting relationships filled with love and kindness.
Because of my skill as a guided imagery specialist, and decades of experience with clients, I have been added to the (Breast) Cancer Treatment Team at Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach, California, and am a Preferred Provider to the VA for treatment of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety, Stress and marriage counseling. I have recorded CD’s and written several papers on guided imagery, alternative and complimentary forms of treatment, and current cultural issues, in order to help people better understand themselves and each other. I have appeared on several local radio and internet talk shows to discuss guided imagery and how it can help manage illness, pain, stress and sleeplessness, and overcome addiction, eating disorders, and grief. Guided imagery helps regardless of the root cause. Currently, I am co-hosting On The Air With DeniseMarie, a weekly internet radio show found at www.ktstfm.com.
I have earned the title of Certified Guided Imagery Specialist by completing very specific training approved by the California Board of Behavioral Science, and offered through Dr. Charles D. Leviton and Patti Leviton, MA, of Synergy Seminars in Palm Springs, California. Dr. and Mrs. Leviton are well known guided imagery authors, trainers and healers, whose services are in constant demand among cancer treatment centers, hospitals and churches throughout the United States. They have shared an amazing, skillful use of guided imagery with me through their fine training.
I have also earned the title of Certified Grief £ Recovery Specialist® by completing specialized training approved by the California Board of Behavioral Science, and offered through John W. James and Russell Friedman of the worldwide and world renowned Grief £ Recovery Institute® based in Sherman Oaks, California. Since 9/11, Mr. Friedman has been the “go-to” grief specialist for CNN, the Today Show and various news organizations, various police and fire departments, and various branches of the military, all around the United States, whenever a major tragedy occurs in the world. I feel fortunate to have trained directly with John and Russell at their flagship location in Southern California. For more information on loss, grief and trauma please visit :

In addition, I hold a Doctorate of Holistic Life Counseling from the University of Sedona, a Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University, and a Bachelor of Arts from Northeastern. Finally, I have been trained as a Disciples Facilitator through the United Methodist Church, and hold an Ordination Diploma from the University of Metaphysics, which qualifies me as a Nondenominational Minister. Currently, I am working towards my Masters of Science in Naturopathic Medicine.
I am a member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists, the American Counseling Association, the American Holistic Health Association, the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists, and Imagery International.
I invite you to come experience a higher level of care – a healing touch to the soul.
Namaste
