Debbie has been very helpful and thoughtful for helping me deal with the issues I'm currently trying to get through. Her understanding of my new walk in faith, along her expertise of relationships, has helped me though many struggles trying to understand and maneuver through the minutae of the situation. I would highly recommend her to someone else who was dealing with something similar to my current position.

Debbie has been instrumental in helping me overcome challenges in my life. Not just specific issues, but systems to deal with future problems, and even just processing events that happened throughout the week. Would Highly recommend Debbie!
