Meet Desirae

My therapeutic approach is eclectic, integrating my education and lived experience into my practice. The goal of therapy is overall wellness and whatever that may look like for you. I focus on creating a safe space that is trauma-informed, resilient, and culturally humble for people to heal. I use an eclectic approach that incorporates the principles of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support implementing wellness tools, grounding techniques, and being in the moment.
