Support for adults and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. Life can feel unbearably heavy when you’re carrying more than people realize. You may be surrounded by people who care yet still feel unseen or misunderstood. I help you make sense of what you’re feeling and find steadier ground. My approach is warm, practical, and trauma‑informed, offering a space where you can finally exhale and feel understood.
At Desie’s Place, we help you navigate challenges that feel too big to manage alone. We listen with compassion and meet you with unconditional positive regard. Using CBT, Solution‑Focused Therapy, and trauma‑informed approaches, we tailor treatment to your needs so you can build healthier coping skills and move toward steadier ground.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you’ve been strong for too long. I offer a calm, supportive space where you can slow down, feel understood, and work through what’s weighing on you. We’ll move at your pace and focus on what matters most, and help you feel more grounded, confident, and supported as you move forward.

I help the medically complex, the depressed, anxiety stricken, the traumatized, ones experiencing grief and loss. Navigate the challenges in their lives that seem so big, by supporting them to make positive life changes and help them to achieve their goals. So they can gain wisdom and better understanding about the choices they make in life without living a life of fear, despair and hopelessness.

I approach counseling from an eclectic theoretical model, because I believe no two person are alike, in that, CBT might work wonders for one person, while solution focused therapy work best for someone else.
