Hello there I am Debbie and I have been working in the counseling field for over 14 years and practicing as a licensed clinical therapist the last 8 years. My goal has always been to provide my clients with supportive non bias/judgement free environment to work on developing strength based and client center focused goals! I have made it my mission in life to help each and every client become the best version of themselves they possibly can be! I am over the moon about the results I have seen over the years with my clients. I hope to continue helping everyone I work with to find their path to happiness healing and security through our time together!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I typically begin with reviewing what to expect in the initial session by thanking every client for choosing to take the challenging step they took today as well as I usually apologize for the assessment process itself; as it can be a bit stressful and although that is never the hope; gathering one’s story can be overwhelming at times. So I like to work early on to make every client feel safe and comfortable to share openly with me their needs. We will do a few assessment tools day one as well to get a baseline of where each client is at so we can keep track of their progress throughout there therapy and celebrate their successes with those day one tools to show them their progress. Then finally we typically we will get to know each other and I provide time for any and all questions they may have about therapy itself and my own background if they desire.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe in providing safe nonbias judgement free support for every client so we can get to the bottom of what their needs are and work our way to the amazing success their goals lead to! I feel I excel at building that rapport with them and making them feel heard, valued and empowered.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Have you been feeling anxiety and panic creeping up; causing you debilitating stress? Or have you felt the overwhelming need to run out of the room or away from everything and everyone? If so Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT could be a great tool for us to consider. It is one of my main therapy models because it is such a powerful tool in helping clients realize their strengths and needs and working to focus them and make their goals a reality. I have utilized this method to help my clients for over 12 years in counseling as well as the last 8 years in licensed clinical practice. I have seen powerful success with multiple populations of clients in a variety of problem areas! If you want to find your path to healing and building the tools you need to become the you, you’ve always wanted to be I hope you will join me and let me help you make those goals your new reality!
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Do you find yourself feeling down and out, no energy, mood not matching how you see yourself? How about lacking motivation to do things or not having the joy in your life you used to? I have found in my years of practice that any emotional dysregulation issues can be greatly helped using Dialectical Behavior Therapy or DBT. I have practiced using DBT for both individual and group therapy and I have always seen progress and changes in my clients emotional state of mind. If you are ready to adapt your perspective and get back to feeling like you deserve I hope you choose to work with me and choose therapy!
Supportive
Have you ever felt like you have no one to turn to? Like if you shared something you are going through it will simply burden loved ones, not be understood or become something you are judged for? I like to focus on a supportive, strength and client based approach to treatment for this reason. It is critical to me that I provide my clients with a non bias, judgement free, supportive environment they can work through and process any and all issues or problem areas they need to without fear of judgement or bias. Supportive therapy has always been a core practice of mine throughout my years of providing counseling and clinical therapy and I have worked diligently to develop these skills to provide just that!
Faith based therapy
I pride myself in being a Christian as well as therapy provider and do not believe both have to be one and the same. I fully respect and support all people and their practices of religion as well as those who do not share the same belief or even those who believe there is no religion for them. I do want to provide the option of faith based services to any and all interested parties and believe God is good, all the time, and all the time, God is good! If you’re searching for a faith based counselor to help you on your path of healing and understanding look no further than myself. I’d be honored to become a part of your journey of faith understanding and love of your God! But if you are not. Don’t worry I respect all walks of life and would never breach one’s personal beliefs or intrude my own beliefs upon anyone else’s!
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Have you been struggling with finding peace in this difficult world? Do you struggle with relaxing and/or centering yourself? Does the overwhelming sense of stress and inability to cope overcome you frequently? If so Mindfulness-Based Therapy may just be what you are looking for! I have utilized a mindful approach to my therapy methods since 2013 when I attended an amazing conference on it. From that day forward I have utilized it in most if not all my treatment approaches to those interested in finding healthier ways to cope with their day to day lives and find inner happiness and security. I hope you choose to give this exciting method a try to help you with your stress and proven areas.
