Debra is INCREDIBLE. Therapy feels like talking with a close friend. She’s compassionate, she listens and never judges, she supports and encourages, and gives me the tools I need to feel in control in a safe and healthy manner. Meeting her has been the best thing that’s happened to me. I see a difference in my mental health since starting therapy.

She was the most understanding and responsive when talking to her. We were able to relate and I felt like I was being listened to.

Debra's helped me point attention to areas I would never have attended to and for that I'm thankful! She implements realistic approaches and helps cultivate a presence that's open to your own personal growth. Highly recommend!
