About

I help individuals navigate through life’s transitions with clarity and compassion.

Whether you’re experiencing the profound emotional journey of loss or pursuing personal transformation, I’m dedicated to providing you with the tools and support needed to achieve the changes you desire.

Thank you for taking time to read through my profile. I am an IBCC/AACC Board Certified Life Coach with expertise in the journey of  grief/loss, as well as, in the area of personal transformation through the use of the Enneagram . I hold a Certification as an Enneagram Coach and as an Advanced Grief Recovery Method Specialist.

Through the numerous years I have spent as a Hospice Chaplain and Bereavement Counselor, I have  encountered many who simply feel they cannot go on.  As such, I have worked with countless grievers coaching them beyond a place where they feel stuck, numb and alone. Instead they learn how to transform that grief. They show up for their lives again with desire and motivation. You may find my grief coaching practice at GracetoGrieve.com.

In the same way, I have worked with those that are ready to discover more about themselves. As we use the enneagram, they learn to discover their unique inner desires, hopes and motivations which begins to open the door to new goals and opportunities for the future.

I work with both individuals, couples and groups, offering  the action oriented, evidence based Grief Recovery Method, as well as, a class entitled, “Helping Children with Loss” and one focusing on “Pet Loss. In addition, I offer Enneagram Typing sessions followed by sessions that include a deep dive into the discovery and exploration of your particular type.   All may be conducted in person or virtually.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Counseling from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary. I have worked as a Counselor in a practice but desire the more forward focused work of Life Coaching at this time in my life. I am trained in Trauma Informed Care, Career Coaching, Weight Management Coaching and in Couples/Marriage Mentoring.

Outside of my passion helping others through coaching, I  love spending time with family and friends, being at the beach or walking though nature. I enjoy riding my Peloton bike and I have a hobby distressing furniture. I also facilitate my spiritual growth through individual and group Bible Study.

Denise is an outstanding facilitator of this program. Her confidence in the program, process based on her own experience of it, her education and experience in Hospice and her huge heart and big brain make her exceptional. Hands down she made this doable for me and there is no way I would have done it had she not gently taken my by the hand, shared her journey with me and paved the way and helped me to be vulnerable, raw and real.. she knows stuff no one else knows minus God! I didn’t even tell him half the stuff hahah Seriously, she is an asset to this program and what she brings to it is nothing short of excellent

The GRM has been amazing in helping me deal with my grief. After completing each homework assignment, I couldn’t wait to have my next class. I could see there was going to be positive recovery for me once I was through it. In fact after one of my homework assignments I felt a ton of stress leave my body. It was truly like a weight was picked up and removed from my shoulder. I believe God led Denise to me for this recovery.
