About me

I am an Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in Colorado. I have a BS degree in Psychology and a masters in Social Work from Walla Walla University. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, family of origin issues, career challenges, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, in a non-judgemental atmosphere. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, solution-focused counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Debbie has been one of the best therapists I’ve ever had! She’s knowledgeable, empathetic and has great advice to help me through my situations. I wouldn’t be as emotionally strong today as I am if it weren’t for her. She’s the best!

Debbie has been so vital to my mental health successes. She’s really helped me become more stable and helped me be able to navigate some challenges in my life the past year I’ve been seeing her. I am so appreciative of her time and commitment to supporting me. She’s helped me on the spot before when she was fully booked and it meant the world to me in that moment of panic and heartbreak. I cherish her greatly.

Have only been seeing Debbie for a few sessions now but she puts things into perspective in a way that I have not thought about. She opens my eyes to many ways of thinking and placing a goal to think and work towards. Excited for the future and continued meetings with Debbie.

Debbie is great. When everything is really good, there's not much to say other than I feel she's very keen and has the qualities that make her very effective at what she loves to do. I highly recommend her to others.
