Hey hey! I’m Dierdre (or dee)…
I woke up. More so, I had a huge wake up call in my thirties after a traumatic breakup. I realized how often I shrunk myself in relationships. I silenced my needs out of fear my partners would get mad and/or leave, and tolerated unacceptable behaviors—even infidelity. I tried to be the “perfect girlfriend”—endlessly accommodating, over-giving, and over-loving—just hoping to finally receive the love I longed for.
In the aftermath, trust felt impossible, and societal pressure only made it harder. Everything shifted when I stopped abandoning myself and turned inward.
I healed past wounds, reclaimed my voice, and prioritized friendships, health, and self-worth. Instead of chasing love, I built a thriving life for myself and began honoring myself fully. I turned my season of singlehood into my most powerful chapter yet—and now I’m calling in healthier relationships as my best self. And this my love, is possible for you too.
Over the last decade, I’ve been helping ladies (especially single ladies) break free from people-pleasing and overgiving, stop abandoning them self in dating, relationships, and the workplace—and instead stand in their sovereignty with embodied confidence, boundaries and self-trust/love. I do this by cultivating a powerful blend of hypnosis, somatic techniques, EMDR, and mindfulness.
Together, our work can transform fear, anxiety, and loneliness into self-love, self-honoring, by teaching you how to set healthy boundaries, and create relationships (and a life) rooted in respect, reciprocity, and joy.
My passion is to help empower women to rewrite their stories, stand in their sovereignty, and live unapologetically to manifest the life they truly desire AND deserve! If you’re ready to stop silencing yourself and finally choose you— hit the celly and let’s make it happen!
Outside the therapy room?
I value time with loved ones, continuing my education, solo traveling and learning about different cultures. I enjoy creating delicious meals, artistic expression, photography, deep conversations, tarot and astrology. I love laughing with friends, moments near the ocean, music, dancing til late hours, and working out. I’m chasing sunsets, vintage scores, nature trails with my fur baby, artsy photos—and most importantly, wilder dreams.
I also value and appreciate you for taking the time to learn more about me. I look forward to connecting with you to see if we would be a good fit and answer any questions you may have.
I am genuinely excited to support you on your journey as you work toward your goals to regain the balance and empowerment in your approach to the life and to create on you truly deserve, while stepping into your sovereignty.
About
This space offers transformation and healing.
Your story is essential to me.
Part of my job is to learn and know your story, understand your perspective, and gain insight into problems and obstacles interfering with your personal growth. I want to help guide you always with your best interest at heart.
My goal as your therapist is to explore the roots of your distress and reduce it by helping you see yourself, your environment, and your relationships with increasing clarity. I challenge my clients to open themselves up to change and personal growth by raising their awareness of their thought processes, patterns of functioning, and relationships with others.
I see my role as your guide and a follower in your meaningful and progressive journey to promote change. Connection, peaceful silence, laughter, and resilience are valuable pieces of this process. I listen closely and empathetically, but I do not stay silent if I feel that I can offer perspective, ideas, or a prompt to help you shift from, or better cope with, the uncomfortable.
My goal is to welcome all my clients into the challenging and beautiful work of self-discovery and growth through warmth, humor, and gentle guidance.
Things will fall apart at some point in our lives because a current situation or something experienced in the past catches up with us. During those times, we come to a crossroad where we can either – allow ourselves to continue along the path stunting our growth or courageously go through the messy healing process.
My therapy and what I’ve learned and continue to learn as a therapist have entirely transformed my life. I would argue that there is nothing more valuable than doing deep interior work that changes our lives for the better. This belief is why I’m so passionate about this work and love what I do. That is one of the first and most important things I want you to know about me
It takes courage to sit across from another person while sharing your vulnerabilities, struggles, anger, pain, joy, confusion, sorrows, and successes. I consider it a privilege and honor when someone allows me to be a part of and bear witness to their process.
Together, you and I create a sacred space that will enable you to show up as your authentic self without judgment or criticism. There is only understanding, compassion, authenticity, and genuineness in this space – and even sometimes laughter.
