If you aren’t living the life of your dreams and find yourself in repeating patterns of thoughts, behaviors, and relationships, know that there is a way through to a better life. I will help you identify and address barriers between you and the person you know you are. I have been in practice since 2010. My areas of expertise are trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and goal attainment. I also specialize in helping those healing spiritual wounds caused by high demand/high control organizations such as cults/fundamentalist religions, and demanding relationships such as with domestic violence.

It feels like you’re living with a roommate instead of a partner. You’re tired of the same circular arguments that leave you both feeling exhausted and misunderstood. It seems like no matter how hard you try to explain your side, it only leads to more blame, defensiveness, or a heavy, painful silence. You want to feel seen again. You want to remember why you chose each other in the first place. I help couples move out of these "stuck" patterns. We won’t just talk about your problems; we will identify the underlying wounds and fears that trigger the conflict.

It is normal during the course of our lives to feel stuck. You may have tried several options to getting unstuck, but find that there is a part of you that doesn't seem to budge. That part might hold trauma, unmet relational needs, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, the list goes on. Therapy is a great option to get to know the different parts of ourselves and learn how to care for these parts. Desiree offers a safe and nurturing space to take a deep dive into understanding you as a whole person; while also offering the tools and resources to process and heal the parts that feel stuck.

The most important component to therapy is my relationship with you. My intention is to collaborate with you, find what style fits best, and offer a navigating hand to walk alongside you through distressing times. Therapy is YOUR space, so let's connect, explore hurtful patterns, and work together to look towards the future with hope. I welcome all gender identities, sexual orientations, cultural backgrounds, spiritual beliefs, and family configurations.

Beginning therapy is a courageous step—and a powerful gift you give to yourself. It takes strength to lean into vulnerability and seek support, and I honor that strength in every person I work with. My practice is grounded in client-centered, trauma-informed, and strength-based approaches, creating a space where you can feel safe, respected, and empowered to grow at your own pace.

I offer individual therapy for those healing from trauma and eating disorders who are ready to explore a more authentic, grounded approach to recovery. At the heart of my work is the belief that recovery should be deeply personal—centered around your voice, needs, and lived experience. Together, we'll work toward healing that feels true to you—one that honors your story, your body, and your capacity for growth.

Struggling with depression or anxiety? Find yourself avoiding things rather than dealing with them? Find yourself beating yourself up on a regular basis? We can work on that. I have over 30 years of experience working with adults with depression and anxiety (mood disorders - major depression & bipolar and anxiety disorders - panic disorder, generalized anxiety, OCD, phobias, etc.). I tend to take a Here & Now approach, focusing on not just talking, but taking action to make changes. I'm only doing teletherapy currently.

You’re the one people come to.
You read between the lines. You notice everything. You hold space, solve problems, and try to show up for others.
And yet… when it comes to your own life, something isn’t clicking. People I do my best work with often report that they overthink conversations long after they happen; feel responsible for other people’s emotions; struggle to receive care, even when you want it; feel “too much” and “not enough” at the same time.
You are not broken. You’re operating from patterns that made sense at one point, and now no longer serve you.

You've tried. Maybe therapy before, maybe books, maybe meditation. You've done the work—and yet something essential still feels missing. You're tired of self-improvement projects that never quite land. What if your anxiety, your depression, your patterns of numbing or avoiding—none of it means something is wrong with you? What if your suffering makes sense, given what your nervous system learned about safety? I work with people ready to stop fixing themselves and start understanding themselves. Trauma-informed therapy grounded in neuroscience, somatic awareness, and contemplative depth.

Have you always felt different from others, but weren’t exactly sure why? The societal pressure to hide your true self can feel so pervasive that the phrase “just be yourself!” has lost most significance. It can be incredibly disheartening to feel as if something is “wrong” with you for feeling emotions intensely. We all have a meaningful story to tell, and I believe in fostering a warm, affirming, and non-judgmental environment for people to discover themselves and question what it means to be human. I love helping others find their voice, explore their identity, unpack shame, and manage the overwhelm of life.

We’ve heard people talk about how great therapy is, and no one really mentions how hard and uncomfortable it is. The foundations of my work and life philosophy are about balance and self compassion. I aim to help people regain control of themselves and their lives and find the balance within themselves.
You can create better habits, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and shift your perspective. You can expect kindness, authenticity, gentle challenges, pop culture references, and maybe even a swear word or two.

I am a very realistic, down-to-earth, straightforward therapist, and I strive to be both a genuine human being and an effective clinician. I work very well with teens, young adults, and adults from a wide variety of backgrounds, and have a solid understanding of a range of behavioral and developmental issues that can occur during these stages of life. In particular, I specialize in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anxiety, depression, and PTSD. In conjunction with treating these issues, my goal is to also decrease the internalized stigmatization that often accompanies having them.

You matter and it's very important to me that I foster an environment of belonging and equity so that everyone I serve can also believe, or start to believe, this truth.
I am a safe, trustworthy, open-minded, and non-shaming counselor specializing in grief, trauma, identity uncertainties, and anxiety. (In that, I have specific expertise in after-abortion and miscarriage counseling; relational, sexual, and health/medical-related traumas; and navigating cancer.)
As a fellow human with my own very painful story, I KNOW the power of authentic connection. Welcome. I can't wait to meet you.

Hey, I'm Brooke, and if you're feeling the weight of the world, you're not alone. I approach sessions from a collaborative and trauma-informed lens and currently work with children, families, and adults. The folks that I work with tend to experience anxiety, depression, executive dysfunction, interpersonal relationship struggles, and overall transitional struggles. I'm here because I believe that some life seasons are tougher than others and we all need someone in our corner.
