Debra is especially passionate about supporting individuals coping with anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, PTSD, trauma, and perinatal mental health challenges. She brings a trauma-informed lens to her care, supporting patients through postpartum depression, eating disorders, OCD, and sleep disturbances. Debra provides compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care that honors each person’s lived experience, while also guiding them toward emotional resilience and sustainable wellness.
With a strong background in trauma-informed nursing and perinatal care, Debra’s clinical approach is shaped by years of experience as a Forensic Nurse Examiner. This work deepened her commitment to holistic healing that addresses the emotional, physical, and psychological aspects of each patient’s story.
y. She believes in creating a therapeutic space where people can explore their experiences without judgment, and she works collaboratively to develop care plans that meet each patient’s unique goals and needs. Outside of her work at LifeStance Health, Debra finds balance through time spent in nature, travel, live music, and exploring historical sites.
