Sometimes it can feel like life is just passing us by, and we can't seem to find a rhythm; where we feel settled and satisfied. Life can feel really hard sometimes, and no one should have to struggle alone when things are overwhelming. My goal is to empower you, and help you break down the barriers that stand in the way of you living a happy and fulfilled life. I specialize in working with adolescence, young adults, and adults struggling with (but not limited to) life transitions, self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and those experiencing relationship issues.

I work with clients of all ages, from children to older adults, addressing a wide range of issues and themes such as: Individual concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and identity development Relationship issues; family dynamics; intercultural, interracial, and interreligious relationships and families; identity development, emotions, and neurodiversity; parent-child relationships; personal care tasks and caregiving. I care very deeply and recognize the importance of spirituality, service, and meaningful work in my client's lives and strive to empower my clients in those areas of life.

I work with couples and individuals to overcome personal obstacles to improve their relationships and overall quality of life.

People often come to therapy with a precise problem to address, and sometimes people come to therapy with a general sense that they are not living their lives in a way that feels right or true. Therapy is useful in many circumstances; it’s an opportunity to understand and change painful patterns, to treat a mental health disorder, to heal from previous trauma, to process the impact of oppression, to mobilize oneself when feeling “stuck," and so much more. Whatever your reason for seeking treatment, I believe that therapy can help you create a life that holds more joy, connection, and purpose.

I believe that change and growth are possible for everyone. Whether it is anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem or everyday stressors of life, therapy can help guide you to turn inward, in a non-judgmental and compassionate way. With a background in trauma, I believe that emotions stay and live within the body; therefore, it is important to allow oneself to pause and feel the emotion. In therapy, I will work hard to create a safe space to allow the client to be their most authentic self. My approach to therapy is a collaborative process, to help guide you to feel empowered and unlock the best version of yourself.

Hi, I’m Des (she/her). I’m a mom, therapist, social worker, suicidologist, and artist. I identify as a queer, white, cisgender single parent and live with ADHD and other psychiatric diagnoses. It’s important to me to be transparent about my positionality, in terms of my identity and lived experiences, as well as being someone who receives mental health services—I know what it’s like to be in the therapy chair and sitting across from it. To that end, I come to my work as a partner and a support, rather than an expert.

Accepting New Clients. It is crucial to meet individuals where they are and help guide them to find what they need or are looking for in life.

The ultimate goal is to feel happy and fulfilled. I can also help with special education needs and school concerns, including attending school meetings. In addition, I am bilingual and work with Spanish speaking clients.

Sharing your life with a stranger is no easy task. It takes courage to start the journey of therapy. I believe in building that relationship by helping people at their pace in a comfortable and respectful way. I hope to provide the space to safely explore emotions and past experiences together to ultimately achieve the goals we have set in mind. My approach to therapy is to be warm and trauma-informed; while remaining flexible and eclectic. My bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience also boosts my understanding of how our experiences affect our physical bodies.

Figuring it out often feels like waiting for the world to pause so we can catch-up and the pieces finally fall together. As you well know, those pauses often are not long enough and can lack the kind of tools, insights, and support needed. We are then left asking, what else is there? I believe that these curiosities, feeling all that we do, is meant to connect us to our true self by learning to know ourselves in every way and love ourselves deeply. The journey of growth and healing involves the use of many different tools, a powerful one being the tool of therapy.

My clients often share that they feel heard, seen, and celebrated as individuals throughout therapy. I apply research-backed, trauma-informed, multi-culturally competent individual therapy to instill hope, self-compassion, and empowerment in young people. Through gentle guidance, developmentally appropriate psychoeducation, and empathic listening, my clients are able to tap into their inner strengths and vulnerabilities, and learn to tolerate discomforts and-- once and for all-- conquer their fears and insecurities.

Are you attempting to manage feelings that have been building up over time? You may be living with anxiety and depression, generally feeling stuck, and/or are trying to manage the personalities of people around you.

I work with young adults, parents, college and graduate students including international students. I have niche specialized experience working with medical professionals such as physicians, nurses and medical trainees.

We all deserve wholeness. Sometimes our relationships can hurt us, sometimes trauma harms us, and the very act of living in this world can cause pain and suffering.
