Hi, I'm Debra—a Christian Counselor, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist. I graduated from Adams State University in 2018, became licensed, and opened my private practice in 2022. Drawing on personal experience, I support clients in improving their mental health. In my free time, I like walking, relaxing in the whirlpool, traveling, and spending time with loved ones.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we'll introduce ourselves, complete your assessment, discuss your history and reasons for seeking counseling, and start planning how to address your concerns.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My genuine and authentic approach fosters comfort and safety for clients. I offer understanding, compassion, and competence in every session, supporting you patiently as you work toward meaningful change.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Change isn't always easy, and it takes courage to move forward when things get tough. If you're unsure where to start or have run into obstacles, remember there's hope and you don't have to go through it by yourself. Sometimes, getting support from someone with an objective perspective can help you find your way and overcome challenges.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize a lot of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), specifically when it comes to treating depression and anxiety, where your thought process can increase or decrease symptoms.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I also utilize Solution Focused therapy. Let's figure out what the problem is and find solutions to eliminate or decrease the problems.
Christian Counseling
I utilize Christian Counseling with those who are seeking to understand their issues from a Christian perspective.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i)
I utilize CBT-I to help clients learn ways to change their sleep routines.
Compassion Focused
I utilize compassion focused therapy and teach clients how to be more compassionate with themselves and less critical.

Ms. Debra was empathic and genuine. She help me see different perspectives and encouraged me. She gave me resources and provided tools. I didn't walk away empty handed. I am appreciative of this session.
