Hi, I’m Deana, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes that feeling heard and understood is the foundation for meaningful change. Beginning counseling can be a big step, and I’m honored to provide a safe and welcoming space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. I have experience supporting adults and seniors, as well as couples, and families across diverse communities and settings, including military personnel and their families.
I specialize in helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges and life transitions. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, helping you build on your strengths and create meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
In our first session, my goal is to create a comfortable and welcoming environment where we can begin getting to know each other. We will discuss what brought you to counseling, what you hope to gain from the process, and what you can expect from our work together. I believe therapy is a collaborative partnership, so I value understanding your expectations, preferences, and goals while we develop an approach that feels supportive and meaningful for you. My hope is that you leave our first session feeling heard, comfortable, and confident about the path forward.
