Hi there, I'm Desmond!

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges. My passion is supporting clients in building resilience, finding clarity, and developing practical strategies to improve their emotional well-being.

My focus

I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and families who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions.

My approach

My approach to care is collaborative, compassionate, and goal-oriented. I utilize evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and resilience-building strategies, to help clients gain insight into their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, empathetic, and collaborative. I create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can openly share your thoughts and feelings. I listen actively and ask thoughtful questions to help you gain clarity and insight.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist was deeply personal and shaped by my own life experiences. Growing up, I faced significant challenges, including trauma and adversity, which gave me a deep understanding of what it means to struggle and overcome.

My goals for you

I help clients set and reach their goals by first taking time to understand their unique story, strengths, and challenges. Together, we identify what matters most to you and create clear, achievable goals that align with your values and needs.

Our first session

In our first session, my priority is to create a safe and welcoming space where you feel comfortable sharing your story. We’ll start by discussing what brought you to therapy, your current challenges, and your hopes for the future.
