About

Therapy That Lets the Light In

Hi! I'm Desi, the passion and brain behind Brightline. For a decade I’ve supported individuals and families in achieving their therapy goals by providing a compassionate, nonjudgmental space for exploration, understanding, and growth. I know that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, which is why I collaborate with my clients to create personalized paths toward lasting mental wellness. At the heart of my work is building trusting, empathic relationships that empower clients to foster authentic connections and lead fulfilling lives. Gaining clarity allows you to reconnect with your values and cultivate a grounded sense of belonging. From this place of strength, resilience grows, and decisions become more intentional — transforming how you navigate stress, relationships, and, most importantly, your relationship with yourself. Together, we’ll explore and address the underlying fears and negative thought patterns that may be holding you back. As clarity emerges, so will confidence — empowering you to live with greater authenticity and emotional resilience. I’ve had the privilege of helping countless individuals reclaim their sense of self and find healing. It takes courage to take this step, and I’m honored to walk alongside you. Together, we'll light the way to a brighter more fulfilling life. (I provide insurance reimbursement!)

Testimonials

“When I started therapy I felt lost and overwhelmed by all the roles I was juggling. Desi helped me unravel the pressures, fears and expectations I’d been carrying. I’ve rediscovered my identity and learned to embrace the person I am beneath all the labels.”

Cara- Client

“Working with Desi was the best thing I did for my family. She helped my daughter navigate friendship issues, disordered eating and became a trusted confidante for her. As a mother, she helped me understand and re-connect with my daughter. Priceless.”
