With over 5 years of experience in helping professions, Desirée has supported individuals across the lifespan in various settings. Drawing from an integrative theoretical stance and mind-body approach to wellbeing, Desirée utilises mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT), psychodynamic, attachment focused, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and emotion focused therapy (EFT) approaches to support clients within a client-centred, trauma informed framework. Desirée earned her Honours Bachelor of Applied Science degree with a major in Child, Youth, and Family studies and a minor in Psychology in 2018. She has also completed all the required coursework for her master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and is currently working under supervision to complete the required hours for full licensure. Desirée is currently a qualifying member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.
During our time together you can expect to receive a compassionate space to be heard, supported, and empowered. Drawing from an integrative theoretical stance, and mind-body approach to wellbeing, my therapeutic lens is geared to assist you in building self-awareness, regulating your nervous system, and processing emotional pain so you can improve the quality of your life! Some areas I enjoy working with in particular are life transitions, anxiety, relationship challenges, stress management, self worth, and identity. However, if your needs fall outside that range of topics, I would be more than happy to support you! Offering a customised therapeutic approach and treating each individual as unique is a value I always keep in mind. Regardless of what brings you to seeking therapy, I hope to provide a coherent and genuine space for you to be met exactly where you are.
