She is kind and compassionate and was able to help me untangle the overwhelming junk-drawer cable bundle that my emotions had become.

Debra is the greatest therapist I’ve ever had. I’m not the best at keeping appointments, so whenever I have to reschedule or something of that nature, she is very understanding and I’m so appreciative of that.
