I have been super happy with the energy and communication that we have. Very calm, good at listening, also good at helping you sort the problems on your own with just some small cues. Very glad to have met Debbie.

I really enjoyed working with Debbie. She helped my son manage anxiety and anger, and she helped me to interact and parent my son. She is a good listener, and when I felt stuck or not sure what I wanted to say, she jumps in with great lead questions. She is friendly and fun, and I would highly recommend her. I miss talking to her!!
