Debra Payne

I believe that people have a natural wisdom within themselves, along with a capacity to not only manage problems but to bounce back from them even better than before. As an affirmative, trauma-informed therapist with a background in coaching and a PhD in Higher Education, I can work with you to come up with a plan to lessen the difficulties you're facing and begin to build the life you imagine.

As a trauma therapist, I use EMDR, IFS, and DBT to work with people who who want to trust themselves again without second-guessing every decision and to leave old, unhelpful stories about themselves behind.

In our first session, we'll identify what you would like to get from therapy and then ensure that your environment here is safe and nurturing as you move towards your goals.
