Banish Burnout, Embrace Joy
Feeling fed up with the demands of the status quo? Are you tired of putting yourself last, struggling to hold it all together, and wondering if this is as good as it gets?
As a sensitive and/or neurodivergent person…you are doing your best while trying to enjoy a well-rounded, healthy life but stuff gets in the way. It’s tough to remember your power, trust your inner wisdom, and create the life you deserve.
Perhaps you…
Identify as a highly-sensitive person (HSP) or neurodivergent (autism or ADHD) and want to further explore what that means for you
Feel burned out, exhausted, and overwhelmed too much of the time
Find it hard to continue pushing aside your needs and masking your true reactions/responses
Fight the loud and bossy inner critic while tapping into your inner wisdom/intuition
Struggle to communicate your unique needs as a ND/HSP to your partner(s) and the misunderstandings increase the feelings of disconnection from the one(s) you love
All you want is to feel like you are enough. You’ve read the self-help books, listened to podcasts, and attended yoga classes, but still you feel a disconnect between the life you have and the life you want. Your inner needs and the external world are in conflict far too often and it no longer feels worth it to push yourself through discomfort for the fleeting approval of the status quo.
You are not alone and you deserve better!
Hi, I’m Desiree,
I’m here to offer a safe space of advocacy, honest feedback, warmth, and humor(when appropriate) to support and guide you on this journey of creating a better life.
Treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all so we will collaboratively figure out what you need and when using a variety of techniques including EMDR, gentle goal-setting, somatic embodiment, self-compassion, mindfulness, IFS-informed and more.
If you are ready to say yes to yourself—to your healing, joy, and transforming from surviving to thriving… I’m here to help!
Meet Dr. Desiree

Individual Therapy
You don’t need to try harder, you need to feel safer! You deserve to have & enjoy the life you want that works for your unique needs as a highly-sensitive or neurodivergent person. Together we will collaboratively discuss what your personalized plan of healing and thriving will entail.

EMDR Intensives
If talk therapy alone hasn’t been enough to get unstuck from past pain, using body-based approaches might unlock that inner peace. Intensives focused on burnout recovery and trauma healing offer more time to dive deep to feel better faster.
-
Autism/ADHD Testing
The fast-paced, busy, modern world that rewards the hustle/grind culture can be constantly overwhelming. An ADHD evaluation can help determine how much of your experience is internal or external so you can best know how to move forward with feeling better quickly.
