Hi there, I'm Deirdre!

I have been working as a psychotherapist. My focus is to assist my clients with reducing the roadblocks of anxiety, thought rumination, addiction, and codependency through somatic approaches and behavioral/skill-building techniques.

My focus

My areas of practice focus are anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, life transitions such as going off to college, divorce, midlife, complicated anxiety, and mood disorders.

My approach

The therapeutic approaches I utilize include DBT, CBT, EFT, Mindfulness (and associated behavior techniques), integrative medicine, and other evidence-based therapy interventions. I specialize in helping you build skills around relationships, self-esteem, resilience, and self-advocacy to empower yourself.
