More about Desiree

- LMFT
So many of my clients start therapy with me because they think things like they aren't good enough, or feel inadequate, or feel responsible for everything. My sessions aim to help break down those negative beliefs and help clients start feeling like they're more than good enough, that they are strong, and that they can set appropriate boundaries. I hope to make you feel safe and never judged so you can say anything to help you move forward. I believe all clients have the strengths needed to reach their preferred outcome.
