Hi, I’m Daed (Dee). I help people who want to feel more at ease in their daily lives, improve their relationships, and find more joy in who they are. With over 10 years of experience, I help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or weighed down by stress, anxiety, depression, or past experiences. I offer a warm, down-to-earth space where you can talk openly, feel supported, and focus on what matters most to you as you work toward a calmer, more fulfilling life.
I am proficient in a wide range of treatment modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Trauma-Informed Care, Family Systems Therapy. This allows me to tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each client, whether addressing anxiety, depression, or trauma.
Thank you for considering me as a partner on your path to healing and growth. I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you in achieving your therapeutic goals. If you feel I can be a good fit for you, please reach out. I would like to connect with you and meet for a brief consultation to determine how we can move forward.
