"There are many words that can be used to describe Denika: wise, candid, brilliant, principled, etc.. This is evidenced by her overwhelming success in treating and coaching individuals as well as couples. Nevertheless, the one characteristic that I personally found to be most compelling is her fearlessness in delving into the causes of strife. She does so with the precision of a surgeon, and the compassion of an angel. My spouse and I were in a difficult place after 16 years of marriage, and Denika worked with both of us, individually as well as collectively, to help us discover the roots of the malaise that had infected our relationship. It was more than her almost preternatural ability to understand and empathize with us; there is a deeply spiritual element to Denika’s presence that resonates with one’s soul. Words cannot do justice to the positive and profound influence Denika has had on our lives and in our marriage. She was fearless in her selflessness to guide us to a better place. The words to describe our gratitude and our love for her have yet to be invented. Her assistance went well beyond what we expected in a therapist or a counselor; now she belongs to us as a part of our family." Jamal Khawaja
