Sabaidi! My name is Desirée and I am a Lao/Southeast Asian Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about supporting your mental health using a decolonial and anti-oppressive lens. I specifically work with adults navigating challenging life transitions, complex relationship dynamics, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I emphasize working with the mind and body, as they are deeply intertwined. My goal is to help you step into an identity that feels safe, validated, seen, and heard.
My therapeutic approach includes using a trauma-informed lens, mindfulness, and mind and body practices to process individual and collective trauma that lives in our bodies. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Behavioral Activation (BA), Eye Movement, Desensitization, and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Solution-Focused Therapy.
Together, we can work on issues causing you to feel stuck and overwhelmed. We will come up with strategies to navigate these issues and support your wellbeing.
