LCSW, 9 years of experience
Hi there and welcome! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in the Tampa Bay Area, Florida, and I’m here to help you navigate life’s ups and downs. Whether you’re looking for support with everyday stress or need help processing past experiences, I’ve got your back. Reach out for a complimentary 10-minute consultation, and let’s see if we’re a good fit!
During our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and talk about what’s going on in your life. I’ll listen closely to your concerns, and we’ll discuss your goals for therapy. This is all about creating a comfortable space where you can be open, ask questions, and start to feel confident in the process. By the end of the session, we’ll have a plan for how we can move forward together.
My greatest strengths are being approachable and compassionate. I’m all about keeping things real and providing you with practical tools to navigate life’s everyday challenges. I believe in transparency and making sure you feel confident in your therapy journey, allowing you to take the lead and move at a pace that feels right for you.
My ideal clients are those who are ready to make meaningful changes in their lives. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, navigating relationship challenges, or trying to set healthier boundaries, I’m here to support you. I work best with people who are open to exploring their thoughts and feelings, and who are looking for practical tools to build a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.

Working with Dezni has been a wonderful experience. Dezni helps me to see myself and my situation and needs clearly. I have learned to keep my own needs a priority. I am able to look at myself and my situation with an open mind and open heart without forgetting my own needs and have moved forward in my life with confidence.

I really enjoyed this session. Very easy to talk to.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to work alongside you in tackling the challenges you face. Together, we’ll identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. By using practical tools like cognitive restructuring and mindfulness, we’ll create real strategies you can use every day. My goal is to help you feel more in control, building the skills to manage life’s ups and downs with confidence and resilience.
I focus on providing therapy that respects and values your unique cultural background. My goal is to create an inclusive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and appreciated for who you are.
I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help you build stronger emotional connections and work through relationship struggles. In a safe, understanding space, we’ll dive into the feelings and needs that shape your relationships, helping you make sense of them and find healing.
I bring mindfulness into our work together to help you stay grounded in the present moment and build more self-compassion along the way.
I use Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help you work through any mixed feelings about change. By listening closely and asking questions that get you thinking, we’ll figure out what truly matters to you and how to move forward.
