Hi there, I'm Deborah!

I help individuals, couples, and families navigate depression, anxiety, substance abuse, eating disorders, and trauma. I take a holistic approach that incorporates physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects of your life into treatment. I believe in meeting people where they are and tailoring therapy to your unique needs.

My focus

I work best with motivated adults and couples who are open to the therapeutic process. My holistic approach is especially effective for anxiety, depression, addiction, eating disorders, and trauma. You don't need to have all the answers—just a willingness to engage in the work.

My approach

I use a multi-dimensional approach based on sound clinical interventions. My work combines psychotherapy with lifestyle changes, relaxation, breathing, yoga, and energy work. I begin with a thorough assessment to understand what you want from treatment, then we set goals together. You are an active participant in your treatment plan.
