Welcome to Staying Rooted

A warm, relational, and trauma informed therapy practice

Discover the truest roots of yourself.

For the deep feelers, overthinkers, and those who have spent a long time putting themselves last.

Anxiety shows up as a mind that won't slow down, a body that struggles to settle, or a constant awareness of how others are feeling. You've become so accustomed to being understanding, accommodating, or keeping the peace that you've lost touch with parts of yourself along the way.

My name is Des, it’s so nice to meet you.

Therapy with me is warm and inviting. I take a relational approach, which means our connection as therapist and client matters more to me than any intervention.

I have worked in mental health for the past 11 years and currently hold an associate license in mental health counseling.
