Hello there! I chose to become a counselor because I saw a gap in services for those from the LGBTIQA+ and neurodivergent communities. As a member of these communities, it was incredibly important to me that they have the same opportunity to receive quality, knowledgeable services as their straight, cisgender, neurotypical peers. As someone with a background in theatre, I enjoy bringing my creativity into session and believe that the arts can be incredibly healing. After receiving my master's from the University of Central Florida in 2020, I started my private practice and have continued to grow since then. I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. and hope to educate future counselors and conduct research regarding counseling practices for neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ folks.

Many people struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, navigating friendships, connecting with your partner or building stronger family dynamics, but I am here to help. No matter how big or small the problem is, no one should face life challenges alone. I would be happy to be part of your journey of healing, seeking self-acceptance and optimal fulfillment to live your best life. My hope for our work together is that you complete therapy with a better understanding of self, emotions, behaviors and a unique toolbox to manage any stressors. I utilize person-in-environment approaches, where we are able to look at how the different domains of life are impacting you and vice versa. As a therapist, I am collaborative, exploratory, and realistic, which also means that I will challenge you to expand your perspective about yourself, emotions, thoughts, behaviors, relationships, family dynamics, etc. Being vulnerable is scary! In my practice, I view therapy as a collaborative process, where you are the expert of your life and experiences and I can help you to figure out where you want to go and how you want to get there. I welcome you to ask as many questions as possible to see if I am the right therapist for you. Nothing is off the table!

Hi, I am Desiree. My counseling style is warm, approachable and flexible as to therapeutic approaches. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My specialty has been working with adolescents, and adults who have complex trauma that stems from abuse, neglect, or other life events. I have also worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, ADHD, social anxiety, addiction, coping with life transitions, relationship issues, parenting challenges, feelings of being overwhelmed or stressed, burnout, childhood trauma, career challenges, adjustment to life changes, women's issues, family conflict and grief/loss. I truly believe that rapport and therapeutic relationships are extremely important for therapy to be successful, therefore we will take some time to make sure I am the right fit for you, and I will never be offended if you feel you need a different approach. It takes courage to take the steps to start counseling and I will honor and respect your journey through this season of life. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to walk alongside you with encouragement and support! I am also a Certified Telehealth Professional per the Florida Certification Board.

Hello and welcome! It's heartening to witness your commitment to the journey of healing and self-discovery. With my background as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring extensive experience in addressing challenges related to mental health, substance abuse, and eating disorders. My therapeutic toolbox includes proven methodologies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). In addition to individual sessions, I am a passionate advocate for the power of community support. I strongly encourage involvement in 12-step fellowships or similar support groups. Establishing connections within these communities, alongside the therapeutic relationship we'll build together, can be transformative.

Having a supportive network, including a dedicated therapist, creates a holistic environment conducive to positive change. I'm here to guide and support you every step of the way on your journey towards a healthier and more fulfilling life. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to share them—I'm here to help.
