I identify as a proud Hispanic from the Dominican Republic, a Christian woman who was born in the U.S . While I lived in the Dominican Republic for some years, this experience allowed me to gain bicultural experience, which helped me connect authentically with diverse communities. I have 8 years experience working with individuals who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, and relationship issues. I am committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment where you can explore personal challenges and achieve mental health goals. I employ different therapy approaches based on your needs. Together, we will identify and change unhelpful thoughts, develop self-regulation skills, and navigate difficult relationships and situations. You will also learn how to process difficult memories, feel safe, regain control, and move forward in your life. If desired, I can also incorporate faith-based techniques to support your healing process.

My biggest fear when searching for new providers is that first conversation, I never know what to talk about. But my first session with Dee was amazing. I left feeling confident this would be a long‑lasting relationship. She was super attentive and guided me with care, patience, and laughter. She reminded me of that auntie who has your back but keeps you accountable. I’m excited to keep growing together, Dee!

First time really doing therapy and Deyanira was great. Got lucky to find someone this great off the bat. She really took the time to get to know me, made me feel comfortable, and was all around super sweet. Looking forward to meeting with her again!
