With parents I assist in developing improved co-parenting relationships that will allow children to grow and thrive without exposure to conflict.
Life is not always a smooth journey so it is important to know when you could benefit from additional support. Finding a therapist who you can trust is the first step. I believe that it is important that everyone is able to recognize their strengths so that they can build on them. We will also work to identify what areas you are looking to change and what that change will look like. It is your journey but not one that you have to travel alone.

Waitlist for new clients
Teens and adults get help to achieve their personal goals; parents find insight and direction so they can understand and work with their children more successfully.
My clients are of all ages on the autistic spectrum, with NVD, who suspect they might be on the spectrum/ADHD or have autistic traits: social difficulties, sensory issues, challenges with flexibility, handling relationships and jobs and anxiety. Many have no diagnosis, or have been given many different diagnoses. My goal is to understand, respect and help my client as an individual. I offer diagnosis for adults and treatment for all ages - women in particular can have a problem finding a clinician who "gets" them. Treatment isn't to "cure" neurodivergence; it's for self understanding, to navigate challenges and maximize strengths.

A friend and colleague once wrote "I have known Debra since she took a position in 1994 as a Clinical Psychologist in our regional hospital. Physicians, nurses, and I were soon taken by her warmth, compassion, and ability to help others, even those with the most difficult of problems. She demonstrated an affinity for children, adolescents, and families, having an instinctual playful approach with children, easy connection with adolescents, and sensitivity toward families."
