Each day we have in life is a bright new adventure just waiting to be discovered! I view my work in counseling as an adventure I am privileged to share with each client! In my 13 years of experience I have worked with individuals as they have struggled to overcome and cope with grief and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, sexual abuse, relationship conflict, ADHD, motivation, self esteem, confidence, coping with life changes, and other distressing circumstances. I enjoy helping individuals create healthy, functional relationships and lives that flourish. My focus is on strengthening the family system, identifying each individual's needs, and discovering hope for their future. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Debbie is extremely helpful and I have experienced a good deal of relief from some anxiety and confusion since beginning working with her. She’s also very prompt and generous with her help.

Debbie is really good about accessing your needs and meeting you where you are at. This is a powerful strength in a therapist if you are seeking a therapist after being overwhelmed and need help but you don’t know where to begin.

From my first messages, a brief history, and one phone session she was able to identify my key issues and ways to work on them that work for my current life situation. I'm excited to continue working with her and becoming a stronger and healthier minded person.

In our first session Debbie already had suggested a book to read. She has not sent a worksheet. She helped me see what I was doing to cope was not what I needed. Very greatful for her by far!
