Desiree is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida and California since 2023. She earned her MSW from Fordham University in New York City in 2019, alongside a degree in journalism and mass communications from the University of New Mexico in 2008.
Her career transition, among several other life transitions, has led her to a path where she now helps guide others through significant life changes, including working with individuals who have mild to moderate depression and anxiety. Additionally, she works with individuals who have alcohol and substance use issues using an empathetic, harm-reduction approach. She has an interest in alternative therapies and is engaged in ongoing certifications that explore these alternative options.
With an extensive background in hospital/medical social work, particularly in addiction, cardiac care, oncology, hospice, and palliative care, she brings a holistic understanding of the connection between physical and mental well-being. Recently certified as a dementia practitioner, she is also here to offer tailored support to caregivers navigating dementia care complexities.
In therapy, she prioritizes a person-centered, humanistic approach, fostering collaboration and empowerment within a safe, validating environment. She actively addresses the impact of systemic oppression on mental health and is LGBTQ+ friendly, sensitive to the unique challenges faced by marginalized communities.
She welcomes adults ages 25 and above, and is eager to partner with you while you navigate your way toward healing and growth. Call 239-262-5368 to schedule an appointment.
