Desiree is a highly skilled therapist. She help me recognize the roots of my problems and begin healing. Give me the skills I needed to survive some of the worst parts of my life. I highly recommend her

I have been working with Desirée for nearly 4 years now and I am deeply grateful for the compassionate presence, skill, and professionalism she has brought to our sessions.
Desirée truly meets you where you are, and takes her time to understand you as a person. Her rich knowledge in mind/body connection and mindfulness techniques makes her a wonderful resource for effective tools to work through anxiety and overwhelm. She is truly gifted at creating a safe space for opening up, and brings so much insight and compassion into the most vulnerable of moments.
I have worked with several therapists prior to finding her, and I can confidently say that she has equipped me to do the deepest work and resourced me the most in the ways I want to grow. I highly recommend her as a therapist.

Desirée is the best therapist I've worked with. She creates a safe and welcoming space to explore the connection between mind and body, which has been tremendously helpful in shifting my relationship with anxiety. I highly recommend her as a therapist.

I have been seeing Desirée for over six years now and she is one of the two therapists who saved my life—taking me from a place of massively defended emotional unawareness to begin to reach a place where I can accept and even like myself. These are actions that I never contemplated before I met Desirée because I devalued them because it felt emotionally safer to ignore and even belittle the need to be in touch with my own self. Desirée is highly professional and competent: she constantly evaluates and updates her skills and understanding of the latest approaches to helping patients with mental health issues. She is also a model of compassion, attentiveness, and creative insight ̶ Desirée listens to her patient, thinks about what she hears over a period of time, and comes back with thoughtful, intuitive, but scientifically informed ideas and suggestions.

Desiree is a kind and compassionate therapist. Over the years she's greatly helped me and my family through some of our toughest struggles as a blended family. I would definitely recommend her to friends and colleagues.
