Hi there, I'm Deidra!
I provide a comprehensive approach to assessment and care to help meet your needs, addressing both mental health and overall wellness in my practice.

I have experience treating clients with diagnoses including depression, anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. I treat clients ages 13 and up.
My approach
I am dedicated to guiding you toward emotional balance, resilience, and a fulfilling life. I believe in treating the whole person—addressing symptoms while understanding your unique circumstances and strengths. Through evidence-based and holistic approaches, I create individualized care plans that honor your personal journey.
My communication style
I assess each client to determine their unique needs and partner with them to develop a unique plan of care that makes them feel comfortable. Clients can expect an open session during which they can express themselves in a safe environment.
My journey to mental healthcare
I am passionate about helping people heal, grow, and feel seen in their struggles. I have witnessed how powerful support and understanding can be in someone's darkest moments. This field allows me to combine compassion, purpose, and the drive to make a real difference in the lives of individuals.
My goals for you
I meet clients where they currently are in their journey to wellness. Goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound will be formulated. These goals will align with the values of the client. My aim is to help clients build resilience.

Clients can expect personalized psychiatric care in a supportive environment where dignity and respect are the foundation. They can also expect to be educated on their diagnosis and treatment options so that an informed decision can be made.
