Hi I'm Desiree! I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida . I'm graduate of University of Central Florida where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. After spending a year in the field, I continued my education at Nova Southeastern University, earning a Master’s of Science Degree in Mental Health Counseling. I began my counseling journey after realizing that many people are struggling to find their way through the difficulties of life. Whether the difficulties begin with stress, anxiety, depression or a traumatic event, I am dedicated to providing a confidential and collaborative approach to your treatment.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our initial session, clients can expect warm introductions and a safe space for discussion regarding current challenges. This dialogue will be led with empathy as we identify current areas of distress and set goals for treatment. I am passionate about validating each client's lived experiences through actively listening and creating a environment filled with compassion. We will collaborate together based on your needs and goals for your individualized therapeutic journey.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My strengths as a provider are my years of experience across various settings. I have experience providing inpatient, outpatient, intensive outpatient and residential counseling services to children and adults. As a provider, I excel at empowering individuals to take charge of their own lives and reach their fullest potential.
