Strengths

Ideal clients

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 was the perfect therapist for me. She was kind, caring, and supportive. She seemed to know exactly what I needed to reach my therapy goal. She incorporated EMDR into my sessions, and it was an effective treatment method for me. I am so grateful to have found Deanne. I'm also grateful that Grow Therapy makes therapy so effortless. I procrastinated for years because I thought it would be difficult to find a good telehealth therapist that took my insurance, but Grow made it very easy.

Deanne, you are my friend. I know it's a virtual friendship. You've helped me find peace among turmoil. You've stood beside me in my hardship. You've supported me while others were judging me. You've made me laugh when I was having really bad days. You're intelligence has proven intriguing. Thank you for who you are and what you do for work. I value your non judgemental view of life so much. You're truly a blessing to this world. You're overall demeanor is a blessing to me. Have a nice day 🩵💙

I so loved & appreciated Deanne’s empathy and the validation she gave to my situation. I was especially relieved to have Deanne offer some preliminary solutions for me to work with before our next meeting.
