I specialize in supportive validating psychotherapy- I have developed my skills working in mental health over 20 years. I am passionate about my work and believe in the power of connection to help promote change in therapy- I use Mindfulness DBT skills and EMDR as my primary helping modalities- I will meet you where you are at and help you remove your blocks to finding happiness. Whether you need to change or learn acceptance- therapy can be a useful tool in this process.

My treatment methods

EMDR

I am trained in EMDR and use it to assist in reprocessing difficult memories and negative self limiting beliefs. EMDR helps clients tap their internal healing capacity and promotes change.

Daialectical Behavior (DBT)

I am trained in DBT and love to teach client new tools to increase insight and improve coping. The model has a lot of skills to draw from so I teach my clients new tools for dealing with problems such as strong emotions.

Deanne is super warm and inviting to speak with. She understands complex trauma, and isn't afraid to dig deep and heal those wounds.

My therapist is warm, professional, and genuinely caring. She creates a supportive environment where I feel heard and understood, while also being empowering and solution-oriented. I felt positive and encouraged even after my very first session, which meant a lot to me. I truly feel lucky to have found the right fit on my first try and am grateful for the support in my growth journey.

Deanne is far an away the best therapist I've ever had. I've been in therapy since I was a child, and never got much of anything out of it. With Deanne, I not only learn, grow, and feel better. But it is honestly life changing. I don't know if someone else will have the same exact experience as me, because for me, Deanne is the therapist I've always needed. Empathetic, grounded, safe, trustworthy, and kind. While meeting me where I'm at, not where I "should be".
