Debra was such a wonderful listener and had great practical advice for how to tackle the issues I was dealing with. She didn’t judge and I felt comfortable talking about anything with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

After years of being in and out counseling and going through many different therapist feeling misunderstood, I am very happy and pleased to finally have met a therapist I connected with and felt heard Debra has been helping me view things in my life in a different light and has brought me so much peace of mind and clarity with things I couldn’t see through her experience in this field was something that really stood out to me and that I’ve been very appreciative of.
