Are you trying to make a change in your life but old patterns are preventing you from moving forward? Is anxiety and stress taking up too much space in your day? Do you want to live a more intentional life but unsure where to even begin? Hi, I am Desiree. As a breast cancer survivor, I am passionate about helping individuals rise up and live life to the fullest. I work with clients who are struggling with issues like anxiety, perfectionism, low self-confidence, relationship issues, chronic illness (e.g. cancer) and/or addiction. I meet clients where they are on their wellness journey and help them move forward one step at a time.
I provide empathy and compassion while building trust and safety within the therapeutic relationship. I help individuals process their emotions, improve their self-awareness and expand their coping toolkit. I use a strength-based and solution-focused approach to empower clients to step outside their comfort zone and move from surviving to thriving.
I earned an MA degree in clinical psychology in 2005 and a MA degree in counselling psychology in 2025 and have over 10 years of psychotherapy experience. I would be honoured to walk beside you and hold space as you address the areas of your life that no longer serve you. Let's start with a free consultation to get started.
