Hi, I’m Desiree, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with adults who appear capable on the outside but internally struggle with chronic self-doubt, overthinking, and people-pleasing. Many of my clients worry they are “too much” or not good enough, even while managing a lot in their lives. In therapy, we focus on understanding these patterns and where they come from, while building self-trust, stronger boundaries, and more confidence in your decisions. My approach is relational and person-centered, and I see people as whole humans, not diagnoses.
At the start of our first session, I’ll check in to see if you have any questions and briefly go over a few logistics, such as consent, confidentiality, and how telehealth works, so you know what to expect. From there, the focus is on getting to know you. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, your history, and the goals you have for yourself.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is the quality of the therapeutic relationship I build with clients. People often share that they feel comfortable opening up with me quickly and that they feel genuinely heard. I take that seriously. I don’t approach therapy from a place of judgment or assumption, and I don’t reduce people to diagnoses.
