This versatility enables her to tailor her approach to each client's specific needs, whether they're grappling with anxiety, processing loss, or working to overcome phobias and compulsions.

For clients seeking to integrate their faith into their healing journey, Delene offers Christian Counseling. This specialized service provides a space where spiritual beliefs can be explored and leveraged as a source of strength and comfort during the therapeutic process.

Delene's approach is characterized by its straightforward nature and genuine care. She is here to support clients through difficult times, helping them navigate relationship issues, job stressors, and life's many challenges. Her experience also extends to helping family members understand and accept autism within their family unit, showcasing her ability to address specialized family needs.
