Additionally, she uses accelerated resolution therapy, parts work and poly-vagal theory to help clients instill hope, develop new concepts of self, and learn valuable self-regulation skills.

Deb loves to use sand tray therapy to assist clients in making sense of their narrative through symbols, as this can be particularly helpful for those with a history of trauma as this modality does not require language for clients to tell their story. She has a reflective, perceptive, and empathic manner and establishes deep rapport with clients quickly. Deb is passionate about counseling those who are looking for transformation in their lives, whether for a specific troubling issue like depression or anxiety, or when something simply feels stuck and is preventing individuals from living their fullest lives.

Her philosophy:

Overcoming set backs and trials by facing them head on to see the lessons and release the pain in the challenges helps empower clients as they navigate their path. Teaching clients and helping them build lifelong skills in articulation and communication of thoughts and feelings helps regulate emotions and enhance meaningful relationships. As we become aware of and accountable for our thoughts, words and feelings we gain the power to forge our own destiny. This enables us to triumph over adversity and discover our own deliberate meaning and direction in relationships and in our life journey and purpose. Balancing physical, spiritual, mental and emotional needs is critical to holistic healing. She believes that each person has unique gifts and strengths and intuitively works to identify those.

It is through reflection that we gain an understanding of where we stand and what we believe. Perhaps it is finally time for you to take care of you. Therapy offers a special and dedicated time for you to explore and discover who you really are, while giving attention to the parts of you that are hurting, as well as to parts of you that aren't fully alive.

My goal is to help you feel most settled within yourself, to develop very fulfilling and satisfying relationships, and to create purpose and meaning in your life.
