Hello! My name is Destany and here's a little bit about me! I am an outgoing, energetic, anime loving, volleyball enthusiast, who loves to crochet, junk journal, read different genres of books, and to eat! My main goal in life was to always help people, later I found my love for psychology. So I thought why not become a counselor! As someone who received therapy since high school I know what it's like being on both sides of the couch. It can be daunting talking to a stranger, but with me I provide my authentic self every session. My life experiences allow me to connect more with my clients and establish a strong bond of trust.
I too have dealt with mental health struggles, and coping with the loss of a parent. These moments in my life have been difficult but I had a strong support system which included my therapist. My goal is to be that for someone else! I offer a space for non-directive play therapy, Sand tray and more for children, teens, & adults to express themselves freely.
I understand that the journey to self-discovery and healing is not always an easy process. My goal is to help my clients navigate their unique experiences with grace and insight, enabling them to face life’s challenges with a sense of control and empowerment.
