A note from Deborah
With over 12 years of experience in community mental health and teletherapy, I’m here to help you find practical tools and emotional support. My approach is warm and collaborative—I use evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness to gently guide you toward understanding the root of your distress. Together, we’ll explore what matters to you and work together towards building self-compassion and resilience so you can reconnect with your center. You are not alone in your struggles. I look forward to meeting you!
