Debra's warm, compassionate personality has led her to the field of mental health therapy where she believes that we all have the ability to make positive change with the right unconditional support. This sometimes includes looking beyond friends and family to a trusted therapist or mental health counselor who can hear your concerns without judgment. It includes finding someone who accepts you for who you are while you work on your goals to become an even healthier, happier, thriving version of yourself.
Debra has found that, in addition to her education, her extensive trainings in EMDR for trauma (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Sexual Intimacy Therapy, and Internal Family Systems work helps provide her clients a variety of techniques for individualized therapy that targets goals quickly. She also specializes in Borderline Personality symptoms, codependency and boundary setting. She enjoys working with all adults, teens, women, men, millennials, LGBTQ+, post-partum issues, and blended families to empower and support thriving lives, instead of just surviving.
Additionally, she has found her expert training in Gottman Method for couples and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) has helped her with couples counseling for same-sex, cohabitating, dating, or married couples who are working through relationship issues such as infidelity, communication breakdown, trust issues, or other relationship counseling issues or unresolved marital problems.
