Deon approaches therapy through a relational lens, focusing on how communication patterns, roles, and relationships shape emotional experiences. Rather than labeling individuals, her work centers on understanding what’s happening between people and how those dynamics impact well-being.

Her background across educational, faith-based, and community settings informs a thoughtful, client-centered approach with children, couples, and families. Deon prioritizes creating a space where clients feel respected, supported, and able to explore challenges honestly.

Deon is currently seeing clients at Acacia Collaborative.

Our Lunch & Learn Series is a free, monthly space to slow down, learn something meaningful, and feel a little more supported in what you’re navigating.

Once a month, one of our providers hosts a 60-minute virtual seminar focused on real topics people are wrestling with every day. These sessions are designed for the general public, whether you’re a client, caregiver, professional, or simply curious and wanting to understand yourself or others more deeply.

This month’s Lunch & Learn focuses on navigating IVF and ambiguous grief. Infertility can bring losses that are hard to name and even harder to carry alone. Ashley will explore what ambiguous grief is, why it can feel so heavy, and how to care for yourself through the emotional ups and downs of this process.

You’re welcome to bring your lunch, your questions, or just yourself. Cameras on or off is always okay.

The Lunch & Learn Series is free and open to the public. Registration is required to receive the Zoom link.

Therapy is a place where you don’t have to be strong, impressive, productive, or “over it.” You get to be honest. You get to be messy. You get to say the things you usually swallow.

It matters because so much of what we carry is invisible. Old hurts, quiet fears, patterns we learned to survive, not to thrive. Therapy gives those things a place to land so they don’t have to keep running your life in the background.

Going to therapy isn’t a sign that something is wrong with you. It’s a sign that something in you wants care, clarity, and a little more ease. And that’s not indulgent. That’s responsible. That’s kind.

You don’t go to therapy because you’re broken.
You go because you’re human, and being human is a lot.

And you deserve support while you’re doing it 💛

Going no contact is rarely an easy or impulsive decision.

For many, it’s a boundary chosen after repeated efforts to repair or communicate have not led to safety or mutual respect. It can bring relief and grief at the same time — and neither cancels the other out.

Choosing distance doesn’t mean you don’t care. It often means you’re caring for yourself in a way that feels necessary.

You can connect with our therapists at www.acaciacollaborative.com if you’d like support navigating boundaries, family dynamics, or complex relationships.

The postpartum period is often described as brief — but for many, its impact lasts far longer than expected.

Emotional shifts, identity changes, and overwhelm are not signs that you’re doing something wrong. They’re signs that something significant has happened, and your system is still adjusting.

You can connect with our therapists at www.acaciacollaborative.com if you’re looking for support during the postpartum transition.

Unhealthy relationship behavior isn’t always loud or dramatic. Often, it’s the quiet patterns that wear down your sense of clarity, safety, or self-trust over time.

Learning to notice these dynamics can help you better understand your needs, boundaries, and next steps — without rushing to labels or decisions.

You can connect with our therapists at www.acaciacollaborative.com if you’d like support navigating relationship concerns.

Choosing a therapist can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already carrying a lot.

The right fit isn’t about perfection — it’s about feeling supported, understood, and able to show up as you are. It’s okay to take your time, ask questions, and notice what feels helpful along the way.

You can connect with our therapists at www.acaciacollaborative.com if you’re looking for support or guidance in getting started.
