Hi I’m Destini a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My hope is that with every client I am able to proved them with a warm, non-judgmental, and safe space to deal with life stressors in order to create balance and to live their best life. I graduated for California State University, Sacramento’s Counseling Education Masters Program specializing in Marriage and Family Therapy.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with introductions of not just you but also myself. We are a team working together. Then dive into what you would like to work on and the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored/individualized plan for us to work through in sessions to come.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Doing this work for the last 10 years I have been able to gain certain strengths within this profession. The greatest of these is being able to quickly identify goals to work on and toward, leading to tangible progress.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
My clients are not always sure where to begin or what exactly is going on with them but they know something needs to change. They are looking for the tools needed to make the change. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, and at times feeling low.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I use Person-centered therapy to provide each person I work with a safe space to talk, realize their full potential, and make positive changes in their life. Person-centered therapy operates on the humanistic belief that the client is inherently driven toward and has the capacity for growth and realize your full potential.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I’ve been utilizing CBT for the past ten years. It helps many people challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. Together we will use it to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. Then using that information to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing is a counseling method that involves enhancing a persons motivation to change. Helping them use the strength within themselves to change their unwanted behavior.
