I am a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin with more than 14 years of experience. I have worked with clients of all ages with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, marriage and family issues, infidelity, addictions, self-esteem, bipolar, grief and loss, personality disorder, OCD, and ADHD. I have also counseled many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My therapeutic approach can include cognitive-behavioral, rational-emotive therapy and dialectical-behavior therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs and goals.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

I canceled on Deborah multiple times due to not being able to talk about my concerns/problems. She never made me feel guilty despite me not being respectful of her time. She continued to support me by sending assessments and messages making sure I was okay and checking in on me. I've never had a therapist who wouldn't give up on me even though I have wanted to give up on myself. I feel confident that Deborah truly cares about her patients and wants to help no matter what the severity of the issues are. She's an angel.
