Executive Director
My Story
Counseling is my 2nd career! As a former 27 year Corporate Recruiter for Fortune 100 companies, I learned the importance of listening to the needs of others. In 2010, my life transitioned due to the economic downturn and I found myself seeking a new career. I enrolled in graduate school at the age of 45 and thus began my journey in becoming a counselor. Graduating in 2014, I learned that I absolutely love working with couples, individuals and families when it comes to finding the meaning of relationships with self and others. This work is my passion and I want to help YOU empower yourself and your relationships!
Helping You Move Forward
Debbie believes that authentic connection sits at the heart of a healthy relationship. She teaches individuals, couples, and families how to navigate the push and pull of trust, intimacy, communication and engagement.
Debbie feels that good therapy involves her ability to support clients to find their voice. For all clients, Debbie teaches how to get in touch with their unique self. She creates an environment where each person learns to listen, empathize and validate other's perspectives. Debbie's non-judgmental approach welcomes clients with sensitive issues related to sexuality, open relationships, betrayal, as well as the LGBTQIA community. She is also passionate about leading a mindful life, both personally and in her work with her clients.

Are you simply seeking a more content relationship with yourself? I will walk your therapeutic journey with you and together we will work to build a better and clearer path.
