I believe that the client is the expert in his or her own life, however, it is frustrating to go to a therapist who continually asks "how does that make you feel?" I care about how you feel, but more importantly, I want to know what you are doing about it. I believe that finding a solution is more important than focussing on the problem.
At various stages in our lives, we may face new situations, traumas, or feelings of sadness, anxiety, or stress. It is during these times that it can be beneficial to take a step towards helping ourselves, and by being here, you are doing just that.

If someone is motivated to find assistance in their journey, then they are already half way through the challenge. My clients come to tell their story, both verbally and through the observance and tracking of the bodily sensatio
I believe that our earliest experiences lay the foundation for our sense of ourselves in relation to others. In my specialty of working with new mothers and their infants, I address the impact of a mother's own attachment experiences on her ideas about herself and motherhood.

I’m Desiree Gonzalez, and I believe deeply in your capacity to heal, grow, and move through life’s challenges with strength. My passion for therapy comes from witnessing the resilience people carry—even when they don’t always feel it themselves. I’m here to help you tap into that strength and create meaningful, lasting
Whether you're navigating personal or professional relationships, questions of identity, a major life transition, family conflict, or work stress — or feeling the anxiety and depression that so often come with these struggles — I want to offer you a space that feels warm, accepting, and free of judgment.
