About me

As a licensed therapist in Texas with nearly three decades of clinical experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, and life transitions.

I offer a compassionate, affirming approach that honors each person's unique journey. My expertise spans a wide range of focus areas, including self-love, communication challenges, social anxiety, grief, workplace stress, and personal growth. I'm particularly committed to creating a supportive environment for individuals exploring identity, healing from past experiences, and developing stronger emotional resilience.

My therapeutic approach is deeply collaborative, emphasizing client strengths and personal empowerment. I work alongside individuals to develop meaningful strategies for overcoming obstacles, understanding emotional patterns, and cultivating more fulfilling life experiences. Whether you're struggling with interpersonal dynamics, processing difficult experiences, or seeking greater self-understanding, I'm dedicated to providing thoughtful, responsive support.

She is encouraging without being an enabler. She tries to get me to become more confident and comfortable with being myself. I appreciate her willingness to listen and help

Deborah instantly was able to connect and understand me and my issues. I felt heard and understood for the first time in years. She is very wise and attentive. I enjoy her line of questions to better understand me and how safe I feel when opening up. I look forward to every session I have with her
