Meet Desiree
If you have hit your limit and are looking for someone who will be kind and compassionate as they open up space for you to evolve as a person, Desiree is your person. Not only do you feel comfortable, you feel heard and understood. That is her super-power!
Desiree specializes in women’s mental health, focusing on pregnancy and infant development. She graduated from Walden University with her MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in May of 2022 and is currently working on her Doctor of Human Services, also with Walden University.
Desiree has been extensively trained in perinatal mental health and has received a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International. She is a Love and Logic parenting instructor, has received training and has experience as both a birth and postpartum doula, and basic lactation support provider. While she specializes in women’s mental health, she is always willing to help anyone who comes with an open heart and willingness to work together to achieve their best selves.
Desiree is an Air Force veteran and an Army spouse, so she is well versed in the difficulties military life brings to clients of all ages. She favors a strength-based and person-centered approach to counseling. It is her most sincere belief that the path to a better world starts with helping parents struggling to find their own strength and wellness- so they can raise their children to be happy and healthy.
Desiree is also a Prepare & Enrich Facilitator!
