Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Desiree, a licensed clinician in Connecticut. I believe that taking the time to support ones own mental health is vital to living a fulfilling life. Seeking help is not always easy, taking this first step is half the battle, congratulations!

I've been practicing for over 15 years

My approach to therapy

I provide a warm, supportive space to help you navigate parenthood, relationships, life transitions, or whatever brings you to therapy. My style is collaborative and down to earth, tailored to your unique goals and pace.

I specialize in infant and early childhood development and mental health, postpartum mental health, depression, and anxiety. With experience supporting adults, families and young children, I take a systems oriented approach that explores how life experiences- from childhood through adulthood shapes thinking patterns, emotional and physiological reactions while incorporating reflective practice and mindfulness exercises.

What you can expect from me

In our first session you can expect to have the space to share what brought you to seek therapy and what you hope to get out of our time together. I am interested in your previous experiences- what worked and what didn't work. You are the center of our work together, my focus is for you to feel heard and safe so that you can achieve your personal goals.
