MEET DESIREE
I believe therapy should be honest, useful, and connected to your actual life.
Many of the people I work with have already spent a great deal of time trying to understand themselves. They are not looking for vague reassurance or a place to talk without direction. They want to understand why the same problems keep showing up—and what they can do differently.
My approach is thoughtful, direct, and practical. We will look honestly at what is happening, make sense of the patterns that keep repeating, and determine what needs to change.
My practice is affirming of Black and other BIPOC clients, LGBTQIA+ clients, neurodivergent adults, and interracial and intercultural couples. I welcome people of all identities and backgrounds.
EXPERIENCE & TRAINING
I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor with a master’s degree and a background in both counseling and life coaching. I provide online therapy to adults and couples throughout North Carolina who want to understand themselves, change patterns that are no longer working, and improve their lives and relationships.
My work includes relationship concerns, anxiety, major life changes, maternal mental health, and patterns shaped by difficult or painful experiences. I also have extensive experience supporting survivors of sexual assault.
My specialized training includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I am also trained to provide adult ADHD and autism assessments using the Cherry Adult ADHD-Autism Diagnostic Interview, a comprehensive assessment developed specifically for adults.
