Deirdre believes
healing begins when people feel safe, supported, and truly heard. As a licensed
clinical social worker, she creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where patients
can process life's challenges, recover from trauma, and build the confidence to
move forward. She has advanced training in trauma-focused therapy, including
EMDR and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and is
passionate about helping people break unhealthy patterns, rediscover their
strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Deirdre's passion
for behavioral health began with a lifelong commitment to serving others and
grew through years of working with individuals overcoming adversity. She
believes every step forward deserves to be celebrated, whether it's a
breakthrough moment or simply finding hope again. Outside the office, she
enjoys reading, cooking, baking, volunteering, and spending time with family
and friends. She's also devoted to her rescue dog, Saoirse, who loves sunshine,
"sniffari" car rides, and the occasional ice cream treat.
