She is very insightful and thoughtful, yet concise and focused. If you take therapy seriously I recommend her. If you’re more on the fence perhaps not. I can confirm Debby is very frank, focused and effective. She responds professionally, is available quite often to provide the support you need and is willing to go the extra mile for you if you take her seriously.

Debbie has made a huge positive impact on my mental health. She’s a great listener and offers tips and tools to help with individual problems I’m dealing with. There’s never any judgement and she is always supportive. Talking with her doesn’t feel clinical, more like talking with a friend. I’m so grateful to Better Help for matching me with her. Would highly recommend Debbie.

She makes me feel comfortable like talking with a fresh with really good advice and a different way of looking at a situation. She also doesn't force you to deal with anything too difficult when your not ready to deal with it yet. She also keeps things as realistic and applicable as possible. I have learned a lot about myself in a short amount of time and have been working to change things that are not working for me. All in all she's one of the best therapists I've had.

I’ve been working with Debby for some time now, and I can’t speak highly enough about the impact she has had on my well-being. From our very first session, she created a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where I felt comfortable opening up. She is an attentive listener and has an incredible ability to offer thoughtful advice that’s both practical and insightful. Her guidance has helped me navigate some difficult moments in my life, and I always leave our sessions feeling more grounded and equipped with tools to manage my challenges. I truly appreciate her dedication and the personalized approach she brings to each session. I would highly recommend Debby to anyone seeking meaningful and supportive therapy.
