Life Isn’t Supposed to Feel This Heavy
Some days it feels like you’re moving through life in a body or a world that doesn’t quite fit. Even the simplest tasks can feel exhausting when you’re carrying the weight of not being fully seen or understood. You might wonder if anyone else knows what it’s like to question who you are, or to feel out of step with yourself and others. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep navigating this alone.
You can’t believe you made it this far.
You made it to 18. You made it to 25. You even made it to 30.
But you never planned on any of it. So, what do you do now?
It’s so frustrating, stressful, and scary to show up every day in this America.
Life feels like a roller coaster.
It’s a dizzying ride of ups and downs. You wonder why it feels like for every step you take forward, you take two more back. Sometimes, you can’t help but wonder, “What’s the point of even trying?”
Everything has become so difficult.
You can barely get out of bed, and it feels like just tying your shoes is a multi-step process, each one a challenge.
For you, fixing dinner is at least ten steps. First, get off the couch. Then, put on your slippers. Next, walk to the kitchen. Then…
By the time you get to step five, you’ve already placed your delivery order and are retreating back to the couch for the night.
You’re not sure who you are anymore.
Lately, it’s getting hard to recognize the person staring back at you in the mirror.
You’ve been so busy struggling from one day to the next that you’ve lost yourself in the process. The charm of life has disappeared, and there’s an emptiness that’s impossible to fill.
Something is wrong.
People say they’re worried about you, as if you didn’t know you were struggling.
But, no matter how hard you try, you simply can’t seem to dig yourself out of this hole. Sometimes, existing feels like being trapped in a role you never asked for. It’s exhausting.
You deserve more.
You’ve felt this way for so long that you’ve begun to resign yourself to playing this part. But deep down, in your heart’s recesses, you know this is not for you.
Letting life pass you by as an observer is no longer working, and you’re sure there must be more.
There is another way.
You’ve been waiting for someone or something to happen – well, this is it.
Let me help you get back into the driver’s seat of your life.
It’s time to mend the broken pieces and carve your journey toward a peaceful, fulfilling future.
We Help People Who Are Struggling With These Issues In Particular
Book an exploratory session now so that we can get to know each other and see if we will be a good fit!
Gender Dysphoria
Feeling discomfort or distress around your gender identity can be overwhelming and isolating. Therapy provides a safe, affirming space to explore your experience and move toward greater self-acceptance and peace.
LGBTQ+ and Identity
Exploring who you are and how you fit into the world can feel confusing or even heavy at times. Therapy offers support, affirmation, and guidance as you navigate identity, belonging, and living authentically.
Depression
Depression can make even the simplest parts of life feel exhausting and joyless. In therapy, you’ll find support, tools, and understanding to help you move through the heaviness and reconnect with hope.
Trauma
Past experiences can leave deep emotional wounds that affect how you feel and relate to the world. Therapy provides a safe space to process these experiences, heal, and regain a sense of safety and empowerment.
Betrayal Trauma
Being hurt by someone you trusted can leave lasting emotional pain and make it hard to trust again. Therapy offers a safe space to process these feelings, rebuild trust in yourself and others, and begin to heal.
Narcissistic Abuse Recovery
Recovering from narcissistic abuse can leave you feeling depleted, confused, and questioning your worth. Therapy helps you reclaim your sense of self, set healthy boundaries, and rebuild confidence and emotional resilience.
Bi-polar Disorder
Living with bipolar disorder can bring intense emotional highs and lows that feel difficult to manage alone. Therapy provides support, coping strategies, and guidance to help you navigate these shifts and maintain balance in your life.
Religious Trauma
Experiences with rigid or harmful belief systems can leave deep emotional wounds and confusion about your values or identity. Therapy offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to process these experiences, heal, and rediscover your own sense of meaning and self.
We Help People Find Solace Within Themselves
Life is full of ups and downs and you deserve inner peace. Comfort in the world starts with comfort within yourself and we're here to help. It’s time to mend the broken pieces and carve your journey toward a peaceful, fulfilling future.
Radical Self-Acceptance
Radical self-acceptance means embracing every part of yourself — even the pieces you’ve been taught to hide or reject — with compassion and without judgment. It’s the foundation for healing, peace, and creating authentic connections with others.
Clarity of Purpose
Clarity of purpose is knowing what truly matters to you and aligning your choices with that deeper truth. It brings focus, direction, and a sense of meaning to your everyday life.
Connection with the World
A big part of life is the connections that we make with others. By practicing radical self-acceptance and approaching others as you truly are, you can build more meaningful and energizing relationships with others.
Kindness to Youself
Kindness to yourself means treating your own heart with the same compassion, patience, and care you offer others. It softens self-criticism and creates space for healing, growth, and inner peace.
Hi, I'm Desmond
If you’re looking to cultivate a life rooted in self-acceptance, clarity, and connection, I am here to accompany you on that journey.
Together, we’ll gently work toward a place of radical self-acceptance, where you can finally offer yourself the kindness you deserve.
We’ll untangle the knots of uncertainty, helping you reconnect with your inner compass and trust your own judgment.
Imagine feeling a real sense of belonging, where your relationships are nourishing and supportive, where you can rediscover your inner courage, empowering you to face the world with renewed strength and clarity.
Together, we’ll examine patterns in your life, distinguishing those that bring you peace from those that perpetuate chaos.
I’m committed to creating a safe and affirming space where we can explore your unique journey and work toward meaningful change.
If you’re ready to embark on a path of greater self-acceptance, connection, and courage, I invite you to reach out.

What My Patients Say about Me
Desmond was a very great listener who asked a lot of important questions that helped guide me through a reflective process. It wasn’t easy being vulnerable but he was very accepting and professional.
Jordan C.
Happy patient
It was our first session and I completely fell in love with the way my son was treated . This is probably in a really long time someone payed so much attention to him and what he was trying to say. Mr. Desmond was patient, respectful and understanding. He asked all the right questions to understand the situation better and suggested things that no therapist has offered in the past. I highly recommend him for teenagers and I’m sure he’ll be great for any age group.
Rahnum T.
Happy parent of a patient
Such a wonderful listener and kind demeanor. I can tell how much they care and wish to help in any way possible. I felt safe and able to tell my story even when it felt difficult.
Timothy D.
Happy patient
Very pleased with my first meeting with him. Very attentive and understanding.
