Great to meet you!

Hello! I’m Desiree, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade of experience in the mental health and wellness field. As a Latina therapist, I bring cultural awareness and sensitivity to my work and value the unique experiences that shape each person’s story. I work with adults navigating substance use, mood disorders, and challenges in their relationships with themselves and others, and I am passionate about creating a warm, collaborative space where clients feel supported as they work toward their goals.

My approach to therapy

“As a licensed therapist, I aim to provide a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard and respected. I also bring a direct and active approach to therapy, partnering with clients to explore challenges, build insight, and move toward the goals that matter most to them.”

What you can expect from me

During our first session, you can expect a welcoming and non-judgmental space where we will explore what brings you to therapy and start identifying the goals that feel most important to you.
