Hi I’m Desiree.

I have pursued making sense of my world for over four years, following a total emotional, spiritual and physical burn out that left me believing I may die, but even worse that there wasn’t anything left living for.

I had been a full time missionary and was heavily involved in ministry most my life. I could “see” the value in others, but I could never “see” myself. I lived with so much self hatred and shame.

This journey led me to go after my codependency. I am understanding more every year about my trauma responses and what I did to survive and to feel so much compassion for them. I am so grateful to say that I am living. I made peace with the parts of me and the ways I protect myself. I discovered the value of supporting my nervous system to heal and how this felt safety allows my authentic, God given identity to emerge. I am deeply passionate about seeing others live from their identities as well. For the first time, I can say that I am the main character in my own life, not in an egotistical way, but in a way that makes me feel at home in my own skin and safe to be in my own life. I can “see” myself.

I am a space maker. A question asker. I see myself in another’s humanity. Your humanity is welcome too. I am honored to hold up a mirror to what your emotions are trying to say while holding on to deep Compassion for the ways you find yourself there.

Welcome to this space. Do you feel the invitation?
