LCSW, 5 years of experience
Hi, I’m Deb! My goal is to create a space where you feel fully heard, supported, and understood. Life can be challenging, and navigating relationships, identity, and external pressures isn’t always easy—but you don’t have to face it alone. With a deep understanding of the unique challenges that come with balancing personal and cultural expectations, I’ll walk alongside you as you explore your path. Reaching out is already a brave step, and together, we’ll find clarity, strength, and confidence to move forward in a way that feels true to you.
You can expect to leave each session feeling more understood, supported, and empowered. Together, we’ll explore your challenges, work through tough emotions, and identify practical tools that help you manage stress, improve relationships, and make decisions that align with your values. My goal is for you to feel more confident in navigating life’s complexities, with a deeper sense of clarity and personal growth. You’ll also gain insight into your own strengths, helping you take meaningful steps toward the life you want to create.
What matters most is that you feel seen, supported, and not alone in therapy. I’m not a passive listener- I show up with you. No pain is too messy, no story too much. We’ll move at your pace and face the hard stuff together, so you can feel grounded, connected, and like yourself again. Starting therapy can feel weird or intimidating - I get it. You don’t need to have the perfect words or a five-step plan. Just come as you are. I’ll meet you with honesty, compassion, and the kind of support that actually helps. If you’re ready to feel more like yourself again, I’d be glad to be in your corner.
I create a warm, supportive space where you can feel fully heard and understood. Every person’s journey is unique, so I tailor our work together to fit your specific needs. Whether you’re navigating relationships, identity, or life’s stresses, we’ll explore your challenges and work towards building tools and insights that help you feel more in control and empowered. My focus is on building a trusting relationship where you can express yourself freely, at your own pace, and move toward meaningful growth.
In a world where many of us live on autopilot, constantly reacting to stress and distraction, mindfulness offers a return to the present moment — a space where healing, insight, and choice become possible. As a therapist, I’ve found mindfulness-based approaches to be profoundly grounding, both for my clients and myself. In our session together, we will talk about the science of mindfulness and how present-moment awareness can help interrupt cycles of anxiety, depression, or rumination.
