The slogan on my business card reads "Grow into the person you were born to be" - I believe we all come into life with the potential to be fantastic, amazing individuals - psychotherapy opens the door to realizing this potential. My specialty is working with people who have experienced childhood trauma, low self esteem, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues re-discover their potential for being healed and whole.

Among her areas of expertise are childhood abuse and trauma, depression, anxiety, panic disorder and relationship issues. Debbie feels that traditional "talk therapies" although valuable as a starting point, do not create lasting and inner change and will help clients shift from the "inside out" by tailoring a unique and experiential program designed to effect lasting change that will help her clients create a more satisfying and pleasurable life.
