Introduction

Hi, I'm Deanna. Above all, I strive to make therapy a safe emotional experience for my clients. I work with adult individuals on a variety of issues, including trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem. My style is warm, empowering, strengths-based, collaborative, and direct. I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives, and see myself as a teammate that helps clients work toward their goals in therapy. I value continual work on cultural competency and being neurodiversity affirming, and am a proud ally to LGBTQIA+, immigrant and refugee, and BIPOC communities.
