About me

I’m an LCSW and currently licensed in Florida and Utah. I have many years of professional work experience in multiple settings and have pretty much enjoyed every job I ever had. I’ve learned a wide range of problem-solving skills over the years which is nice because I tend to be solution oriented. A few areas I have experience in include helping clients with grief/loss, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, dealing with aging parents, coping with life changes, and narcissistic abuse recovery. It makes sense to me that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I'm here to help educate and support your process.

She is so down to earth, easy to connect with, and hilarious. She also does not enable me to stay in a rut. I appreciate her honesty and just everything about her!

Debra is a straight shooter, frank and to the point- something I greatly value and appreciate in a therapist. She proposes new perspectives to problems I encounter in ways that I had not considered before. I can count on her to be honest with me in a way that is compassionate but direct. I would recommend Debra as a therapist to anyone who is looking to put in the work at bettering themselves.

I have been so happy with Debra. It is like talking to a wise friend. This is my first time with therapy and I couldn’t be happier that I was matched with her.
