Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Destiny! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps adults and adolescents navigate anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, stress, identity concerns, and major life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling in your relationships, adjusting to parenthood, or simply trying to reconnect with yourself, my goal is to help you feel supported while finding a healthier way forward.

I understand that life doesn't always unfold the way we imagined. Changes in relationships, family dynamics, and personal responsibilities can leave us feeling stuck or unsure of what's next. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I strive to create a space where you can show up as yourself, feel genuinely understood, and work toward meaningful changes that help you feel more balanced, confident, and fulfilled.

My approach to therapy

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. I believe therapy should feel like a genuine conversation where you can explore your experiences openly, without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. I'll take the time to understand your concerns, relationships, and goals so we can focus on what matters most to you.

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and solution-focused approaches to help you better understand your emotions, recognize unhelpful patterns, and develop healthier ways of coping. Together, we may focus on managing anxiety or stress, improving communication, navigating relationship or family challenges, or building confidence through major life changes. My goal is to help you gain clarity, strengthen your relationships, and develop practical tools that support lasting progress.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and talk about what brings you to therapy. We'll explore what you've been experiencing, what feels most challenging right now, and what you'd like to gain from our work together. You don't need to have all the answers or know exactly where to begin. We'll take things one step at a time.

You can expect me to be warm, genuine, and actively engaged throughout the process. I'll listen without judgment, ask thoughtful questions, and work alongside you to identify meaningful goals and practical next steps. I want therapy to feel like a safe, supportive space where you can better understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, and feel more confident navigating life's challenges.
