Hi there, I'm Deonae!

I'm committed to supporting adults as they navigate life's challenges. My work is grounded in empathy, cultural humility, and evidence-based practices. I support individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I create a safe, affirming space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to move toward meaningful change.

My focus

I specialize in working with adults navigating life transitions, processing trauma, or looking to strengthen self-esteem and coping skills. My collaborative, supportive approach helps each person feel empowered to take meaningful steps toward growth. I provide a safe space and an achievable plan.

My approach

I use cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. This hands-on approach gives you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. Based on your needs, I may include mindfulness. Together, we'll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward with confidence.
