Hi there, I'm Dessarina!
You've been carrying the weight of the world with your life ambitions and relationships, and you just need to set it down to remember that you are human and need care too. You're the strong friend who checks in with everyone, but is anyone checking in with you? Have you been finding yourself on autopilot and not living life?
My focus
I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, relationship issues, stress, trauma and PTSD, career concerns, parenting, and women's issues including pregnancy and postpartum. I also offer marital and pre-marital counseling, support for cultural stress, and help building coping skills.
My approach
My approach considers the parts of you that you don't allow others to see. It is gentle, explorative, non-judgmental, and honors your personal experiences. I utilize Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy, Strength-Based approaches, Family Systems, and Relational therapy to help you reconnect with yourself.
