Hi there, I'm Destiny!

I work with kids, teens, and adults navigating trauma, neurodivergence, identity shifts, and life transitions. I use a mix of Constructed Awareness, narrative therapy, and mindfulness techniques to help you make sense of what you're carrying. You'll leave sessions with tools you can actually use—not just in crisis, but in everyday life.

My focus

Whether you're facing burnout, navigating trauma, questioning your identity, or just trying to keep it together, therapy gives you space to be real, feel seen, and reclaim your clarity and confidence. I'll meet you where you are—with compassion, curiosity, and strategies that fit your life.

My approach

I integrate Constructed Awareness, narrative therapy, somatic work, mindfulness, and cognitive awareness to help you understand your experiences in a new way. Constructed Awareness helps us recognize how our internal experience shapes our external reality, and how changing the narratives we tell ourselves can shift our lived experience.
