I am a licensed professional counselor based in Maryland. I graduated in 2005 and have since worked with clients of all ages. I enjoy being able to partner with people and support them in taking the steps needed to better their lives, and pursue their own personal goals towards happiness and fulfillment. I have experience working with clients from different cultural backgrounds. I am experienced in helping clients develop better strategies in handling issues including trauma, family issues and dynamics, anxiety, depression, as well as mood disorders.
Clients are able to see that there is hope. The road ahead may not be easy, and there will be work to be done, but there is hope.
I have experience with a varied demographic of clients, and am experienced in providing therapy for trauma related issues. I can provide culturally appropriate therapy, as well as faith based.
I love working with motivated clients who are willing to be challenged and want to learn new tools and coping strategies to deal with the ups and downs of life.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT techniques to identify and address problematic thought patterns and behaviors that are hindering personal growth, and interfering with one's life. I work with clients to develop personalized coping strategies that work best with their own goals and sense of self.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I use this modality of treatment to help clients understand different parts of self; internal and external dynamics that lead to current problems, as well painful emotions that are often ignored or actively avoided. The goal is to achieve healing and harmony within, so that the person feels whole again.

Our initial decision to seek Deborah's expertise was driven by the need for a therapist capable of working with an individual at a sophisticated level. Deborah is a smart, open-minded, genuine, and warm therapist. Her nonjudgmental approach fosters trust, and her patient demeanor is beneficial to clients.
