I love Debra! She helped me keep my head straight before my husband's death and after. Now that I have moved to care for my parents, she has given me the tools to keep going and living my best life despite what happens. When I stopped treating her like a friend and let her treat me as my therapist, I could allow her to lead me through my dark place, I was able to allow myself to heal.
Debra is salt and light: salt for healing and light to show the way. Now I can move on to the next chapter of life. I miss her, but I know she still has my back in prayer!

Debra is the best therapist I've ever had! In the last two years she's helped me go from an extremely anxious workaholic to an actual functional adult with work life balance. She's helped me face so many challenges and problems in every facet of my life, and I'm so grateful!

Debra is hands down the best therapist I’ve had. She has always been friendly yet professional, approaching each challenge with empathy and support. Since being matched with her in December 2020 I’ve been able to process some hard traumas and work on my boundaries as a person, and I am endlessly grateful to Debra for all of her help and kindness.

Debra has helped me in so many ways in all areas of my life. She’s given me the tools to work through my anxiety, to put in place necessary boundaries, learn how to trust again and to love myself. I joked many times that she’d helped me without me even realising and provided me with skills and methods to cope, her allowing me to lead the sessions, listening but also offering advice in the most authentic way. I truly will miss our sessions and feel that I wouldn’t be where I am today without her, but am so optimistic for my future.

Debra is really good at listening and understanding the root of the problem, and suggesting ways to deal with it. She is supportive and clear. I have had several therapists in the past but never gained as much as I have from sessions with Debra.

Best therapist I have had, very skilled with a large area of knowledge and able to support with almost all of my needs, a very human therapist, I have had therapists before who seemed robotic or too disconnected, Debra manages to be fully onboard with the problems and pain of the client without letting that pain affect her, and if ever there are issues she is always upfront and honest about them.

Debbie sat with me at my lowest points and never judged, even when the tears flowed. Her gentle and patient observance helped clarify what it was that I needed to work through and helped me get through some of those painful emotions. I feel so much more ready to take on the world after her guidance and am so thankful for her help. Life, here I come!

I'm so grateful for Debra. In my three sessions i've seen many great results from our conversations. She gives me information that is very helpful and ive been able to see actual change. She has also done an excellent job of connecting my problems to both Scripture and cognitive therapy methods. She has been integral in my process of healing.
