About

Hello!  I'm Debbie (she/her)

I am a Nationally Certified, Licensed Professional Counselor. I specialize in working with people who want  to experience less conflict and more connection with others, as well as a greater comfort with their authentic selves. Change can be scary.  I help people recognize their strengths and what they want in order to be open to the process of change.

​

I am an IFS-informed therapist, having received my initial training by taking the Stepping Stones course with Derek Scott at IFSCA, and then continuing my training through the IFS Institute’s Online Circle program.

​

Over the past 20 years, I have had the privilege of providing therapy and therapeutic services to children, adolescents, adults, and families in various capacities including schools, mental health agencies, group practice, as well as in private practice.  

​

When I am not working, I enjoy doing DIY projects in and around my house, spending quality time with friends and family, and being a mom to my two boys!

Debbie's Approach

​

I am passionate about offering therapeutic experiences that support you to feel understood, acceptance, and increased Self-awareness, which will lead to lasting healing and symptom-relief. Together, we will explore and define what you are looking to get out of therapy and engage collaboratively in creating personalized therapeutic goals. Throughout this process, my primary focus is on supporting you to experience new ways of understanding and opportunities to relate differently with your Self and others.     

 

My clinical approach incorporates a combination of relational, family systems, and IFS-informed interventions. Through this integrative approach, I offer an emotionally safe and non-judgmental space that encourages exploration and authenticity. I provide gentle guidance for developing insights and strategies to help you live a more fulfilling, calm, and connected life. I am here to hold space and support you as you explore new ways of understanding and responding to your current life stressors.
