Debbie has been quite interested in what I'm dealing with. She has been helping me to move in the right direction with some physical and mental healing. I'm using a few suggestions that she has given me in helping myself to push forward in a positive way. I think that she very genuinely cares about her patients. She is a great listener and understands how to deal with people in my age group. I certainly appreciate that!

Written on Mar 31, 2026 after therapy with Debra "Debbie" for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship issues
I am new to therapy, and I was worried it would not be a good fit for me. However, working with Debbie has been so beneficial for me. I love talking to her, and she pushes me to be better. She always makes me feel comfortable talking to her and she stretches my thinking without making me feel bad about myself. She also gives me actionable ways to improve my situation. Overall, she is very supportive, very professional, and easy to connect with. I would recommend her to all of my friends. I am so grateful I was matched with her <3

I am forever grateful to Debbie for everything she has helped me overcome over the last year. She has always helped me process the moment, find ways to not cut myself down, but build me up, and reassure me as i accomplished rebuilding my life. she's a calm stable presence in what was my temporary chaos.

Debbie listens and is able to clearly communicate the things that she takes away from what I say. It is so helpful to have a therapist that is clear in her way to decipher the things going on in your head!

My therapist was spot on and helped me to realize things without even knowing it! She would offer examples and ask about experiences and not ever accuse or label things. She has so much knowledge and really hits the root of my issues

Written on Jan 30, 2025 after therapy with Debra "Debbie" for 4 weeks on issues concerning depression, and stress, anxiety
Debbie was my first therapist EVER, and she has helped me, and continues to help me, get through so many things that were holding me back from being my best self for me, for God, and for others. She incorporates God and her experiences beautifully, which has helped me understand her background and her expertise. She not only taught me strategies to heal from past traumas, but also to learn to have trust in God through the process, which has turned out to be a long one. I can't recommend her enough. Debbie is super sweet and remembers the little things.

Early on in my visits with Debra, but she seems very engaged and helpful. She has already zeroed in on some long standing challenges and given me tools to improve my mental well being.

Debbie is really good about accessing your needs and meeting you where you are at. This is a powerful strength in a therapist if you are seeking a therapist after being overwhelmed and need help but you don’t know where to begin.

In our first session Debbie already had suggested a book to read. She has not sent a worksheet. She helped me see what I was doing to cope was not what I needed. Very greatful for her by far!
