Hi there, I'm Desiree!

Life’s challenges can leave you feeling disconnected or uncertain. I support individuals facing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and periods of transition by creating a thoughtful, compassionate space for exploration & change. My approach focuses on helping you gain clarity, strengthen self-trust, & move forward with greater confidence and balance.

My focus

Therapy is a collaborative process. We’ll work together to set goals that reflect what matters most to you, such as enhancing relationships, building confidence, or fostering personal growth. As you gain new insights, we’ll adjust your approach to keep therapy responsive and supportive of your progress.

My approach

I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you better understand how your thoughts impact your emotions and behavior. Our work together is practical, supportive, and collaborative, with an emphasis on tools you can apply outside of sessions. When helpful, I may also draw from mindfulness and other techniques tailored to your needs.
