Meet Desiree

I’m a calm, compassionate therapist who works collaboratively with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach is grounded in CBT, focusing on identifying and shifting core beliefs, building coping skills, and cultivating self-compassion and mindfulness. I have a special interest in supporting healthy relationships, family of origin issues, adoption-related concerns, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Together, we’ll create a safe space to explore what matters most and move toward greater peace and resilience.
