Hello! I am a mental health counselor, licensed in the state of Florida with 6 years of counseling experience. Clients whom I have had the honor of working with have dealt with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, trauma and anger management. I also have had 20+ years of experience in providing guidance to those facing relationship issues and parenting challenges.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating at any stage of life. Whether you are a teenager navigating the challenges of adolescence or an adult managing life's responsibilities and transitions, seeking support is a courageous step. I strive to create a therapeutic space that is welcoming, compassionate, and free from judgment, where you can safely explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I believe therapy is more than just talking—it can be a place to laugh, reflect, learn, heal, and grow. My approach is personalized to meet the unique needs of each individual. For adolescents, I incorporate creative and engaging interventions, including art, games, and interactive activities, to encourage self-expression, emotional awareness, and healthy coping skills. For adults, I provide a supportive environment to process challenges, build resilience, and work toward meaningful goals. The teenage years can bring challenges related to identity, friendships, family relationships, academic pressures, self-esteem, anxiety, and emotional well-being. Adults often face stressors related to careers, relationships, parenting, life transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, and balancing responsibilities. Regardless of age or circumstance, everyone deserves a space where they feel heard, understood, and supported. I believe each person has a unique story, and my role is to listen, understand, and help them build on their strengths. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in a practical, down-to-earth way, helping clients recognize patterns that may be keeping them stuck. Together, we identify goals, develop healthy coping strategies, and work toward positive change. As a clinician, I am honest, transparent, open-minded, and approachable. Whether you are an adolescent finding your voice or an adult seeking support through life's complexities, I am committed to walking alongside you with empathy, encouragement, and respect. I look forward to getting to know you and supporting your journey toward growth and healing.

Hi there, I'm Deborah! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 25 years of experience helping adults and adolescents navigate anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and everyday stress. I strive to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable discussing their concerns and working toward meaningful change. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s individual needs. I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy, supportive therapy, behavioral activation, mindfulness-based strategies, and trauma-informed care. Together, we identify unhelpful patterns, build effective coping skills, strengthen self-confidence, and develop practical steps toward the client’s goals. I believe therapy should feel both supportive and useful. My goal is for clients to leave sessions feeling heard, understood, and equipped with strategies they can apply in their daily lives.

If you're used to being the one who has it together for everyone else, but lately you've been running on empty, you don't have to keep carrying it alone! I work with adolescents, college students, young adults, and women navigating anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, identity shifts, and life transitions. Many of my clients are dancers, athletes, performers, helping professionals, and high-achievers who look successful on the outside while quietly struggling on the inside. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years in high-performance coaching, fitness, and behavior change. Today, I blend that background with evidence-based therapy to help clients understand themselves more deeply while building practical skills for lasting change.

Welcome to my profile! I am a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a deep commitment to client-centered care. With over a decade of dedicated service in the VA system, as well as over 30 years of work in mental health and child welfare, I offer a steady, trauma-informed perspective for individuals navigating life's complexities.

I work especially with people dealing with trauma, persistent depression, and anxiety. My approach is warm, straightforward, and collaborative. We’ll work together to understand what is happening, why certain patterns keep showing up, and what you can realistically do to change them. I believe therapy should be both compassionate and useful. I will listen and validate your experience, but I will also challenge you when it is helpful and teach you skills you can use outside of our sessions. Most importantly, you don’t have to come into therapy knowing exactly what you need. You just need to be willing to start figuring it out. My job is to meet you where you are, help you understand yourself better, and work with you toward feeling more like yourself again.

I believe we all benefit from having a safe, non-judgmental space to express and process our thoughts and emotions. Many times, our past experiences impact our ability to connect to others and appreciate the current moment. It can be helpful to read the previous chapters of our lives to gain an understanding of the present and provide direction for future chapters we aspire to write. I am passionate about learning the world view of each person and working collaboratively using a holistic approach to healing. My authentic strength-based style cultivates a safe consistent environment for reflection and insight.

I believe every person is a light in this world, and that healing requires rediscovering your inner strength, inherent worth, and higher purpose. While every person’s story is unique, we all face universal challenges—navigating a competitive world, understanding who we are, finding meaning in response to suffering, and adapting to change throughout our lives. When stress becomes overwhelming or unmanageable, reaching out for support is something that resilient people do. I bring a holistic counseling approach to my work with clients, with an emphasis on physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and psychological well-being. While it is important to explore the nature and impact of mental illness, I think it is just as important to help clients develop practical strategies to restore balance and learn skills for living a fulfilling life. I integrate counseling techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma informed treatment approaches, psychological "parts" work including Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, positive psychology, as well as Eastern and Western philosophical traditions, tailoring my approach to every client's individual needs. I am an inclusive and affirming therapist who is humble and respectful regarding domains of human diversity, and I love exploring with clients dimensions of personal and social identity. I have several years of experience working as a therapist and have been working with clients in helping roles for over a decade. My background includes working as an outpatient therapist in community mental health, higher education, intensive OCD treatment, as well as telehealth and private practice settings. I have prior experience working in other helping roles as well including child welfare, public health, and home healthcare fields. Throughout these experiences, I have remained deeply committed to helping others heal, grow, and thrive. Thank you for taking the time to learn about my approach. I look forward to working with you!
