Great to meet you!

Welcome! I’m Deborah, an experienced and compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping adults and seniors navigate many of life's challenges. Mental health is not just my profession, but my passion, and I will hold space for you to express the full range of emotions that arise in our work. Nothing is too shameful or scary for us to face together.

My approach to therapy

I have experience helping individuals in medical, psychiatric, and military settings (both active duty and Veteran), and have a deep understanding of many challenges often found in these spaces. My areas of clinical focus are anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and caregivers of those with Dementia. I often work well with clients who are in crisis, experience social overwhelm, restlessness or poor sleep, struggle with low self-esteem, consistently feel tense/on edge and compassion fatigue.

What you can expect from me

As an evidence-based practitioner, I like to create space for routine check-ins where we will regularly reflect on our work together. The goal in my practice is ensure that you feel that consistent improvement is made. Many of my clients describe me as warm, kind, and non-judgmental. With empathy, keen insight, and clinical expertise, I have helped guide many individuals through their most challenging moments to discover effective coping strategies that lead to mental and emotional well-being.
