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.
In our first session I will find out the concerns that bring you to therapy- we will use the session to decide if we are a good fit to work together.
I am experienced and non-judgmental. I love to teach my clients new approaches to working with their problems.
My ideal client has some motivation for change and would like to learn and grow in therapy.

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".

She genuinely seems to be committed to helping me. She makes valuable observations. Her suggestions and explanations are on point. Even though I tend to talk more than listen, I AM listening. Her reassurance that she can and will help me resonates.
