Debra has been great. She really listens to me and helps me to work through things and can see things that are affecting me that I don't see myself.

Debra has helped me immensely in just the few sessions I’ve had with her. Talking to her feels safe and I not only do I always look forward to our calls and conversations but I can already feel the difference in my management of OCD and anxiety. Her approaches work very well and I look forward to continuing my healing with her!
