Within a warm, confidential, and non-judgmental atmosphere, Deb works to develop a therapeutic relationship of mutual trust and respect. Together, client and therapist explore underlying present problems and work toward growth and healing. With greater self-awareness and active engagement in the therapeutic process, the client finds healing for the past, wholeness for the present, and a vision for what may be possible for the future. Deb believes that changes occur for us when we take the time and make the effort to help our brains function at their best. For this reason, she utilizes healthy lifestyle, elimination of addictions, and "right brain" interventions such as art, sand tray, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapies. Ultimately, Deb believes that the Holy Spirit is our Guide and Counselor as she works to listen well and care deeply.
