I envision a world where mental health is met with compassion—not stigma, and am deeply committed to supporting anyone who has ever felt unseen or misunderstood.

Welcome, I’m Dez—a licensed mental health counselor working virtually with adults across New York State.

My approach is trauma-informed, and deeply relational. This means we will use our time each week to slow down, look beneath the surface, and make sense of your inner world together.

I believe that healing from anxiety, depression, or trauma isn't about fixing something that is broken, but about discovering the wholeness already within you. The burdens you carry are often the result of creative, protective ways your psyche adapted to survive early relational wounds and systemic oppression.

In our work, you are not a problem to be solved. Instead, we will look at the roots of your defenses with curiosity and compassion. I am here to provide a safe space where you can let down your guard, soften old protections, and reconnect with who you truly are and what you want for your life.
