Hi there! My name is Destiny and working with others has always been a passion of mine. Life is beautiful, but it can also be brutal. Although humans are resilient, we all go through moments in our lives where talking it out with a friend just doesn't cut it. Sometimes we encounter really challenging moments, low self-esteem, loneliness, grief and relationship issues. I’m here to help provide clients a safe and supportive space to process & explore their experiences, improve their relationships, heal & grow. I utilize evidence-based therapies while remaining eclectic & changing modalities based on the client’s needs & goals.
I have extensive experience working with adults of all ages, backgrounds & mental health concerns. Because everyone has different lived experiences, I tailor therapy sessions to meet the needs of each individual client. I have a trauma-informed and person-centered treatment perspective and utilize an eclectic approach comprised of evidence-based models.
I prioritize building a genuine and trusting therapeutic relationship. I am here to listen non-judgmentally, to offer tangible, concrete skills to use in your day-to-day life, and to provide you with a reliable and safe space to feel, think, and explore. Sometimes we need others to help us carry the weight & that’s okay.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression or relationship issues. We will first get to know more about you and delve deeper into the issues that are currently presenting itself. We will create a plan together to address these concerns. Most of my clients begin to gradually gain clarity on the issues, decrease symptoms & increase their ability to manage those symptoms.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Acceptance & Commitment Therapy in my practice. However, I tailor my sessions to the client and strongly believe that therapy is not a 'one size fits all.' I use trauma-informed, client-centered approaches to therapy, focusing on thought processes to help target emotions. I ensure that my client feels comfortable & heard throughout the process.
