Denise began her working career immediately after graduating from high school. She had a long corporate career in customer relations positions and met her husband, Gary while working at a personal injury law firm. At the time Denise and Gary married they had 3 children from Gary’s previous marriage. Jim and Scott were just graduating from high school and entering the Army. Arisa was 9 at the time and splitting her time between her mother’s home and Denise and Gary’s home. Three years later Denise and Gary had a little girl together, Kendra at which time Arisa began living full time with them. Jim, Scott, and Arisa are all married and Kendra has a long-time boyfriend. Denise now has 10 amazing grandchildren. After 13 years together, Gary was killed in a motorcycle accident. It was at that time that Denise decided to follow her dream of becoming a therapist. She enrolled in and graduated from Texas A&M-Commerce within 3 years and was immediately admitted to the Social Work Masters program at The University of Houston, Graduate College of Social Work. She continued her training and is now a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Since graduating Denise has been specialty trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). She found her passion in working with substance and behavioral health at two behavioral health hospitals. She started as a therapist and continued her career as the Director of Outpatient Services to include two Active-Duty programs in San Antonio and Killeen. Having 2 stepsons in active duty as well as her father, sister and niece all having served our country Denise found working with the active-duty and veteran community as an opportunity to give back to those who have served. Denise enjoys county and western dancing and riding her Harley in the beautiful Hill Country. She enjoys traveling the world and spending time with her amazing family to include her children, grandchildren and the families of her 5 brothers and sisters.
My Why:
I am humbled and excited to work with Warriors Heart. It allows me the opportunity to give back to those who serve our nation and our community to keep me and my family safe and free. Although I have not personally served, I have supported my children and family members who have served. The support persons of each warrior are warriors in their own right. It is a great honor to be a Warrior healing Warriors.
