Hi there, I'm Deanna!

I’ve spent over 30 years helping people of all ages work through life’s challenges—whether it’s anxiety, grief, family struggles, or past trauma. I’ve become especially passionate about supporting those under high stress, helping those who carry a lot of emotional weight from their work. My goal is to offer a safe, down-to-earth space for clients.

My focus

I work with clients across the lifespan, but I have a special passion for supporting middle and high school students, young adults in their twenties, older adults, and those in helping professions who often carry the emotional weight of others. I’ve also worked with many children and teens.

My approach

My approach to therapy is grounded, flexible, and client-centered. While I often work from a structured framework or treatment plan, I believe it’s just as important to meet clients exactly where they are—emotionally and mentally. Everyone comes with a story, so I take time to listen, understand, and tailor the session to their needs and goals.
