A key focus of Deborah’s clinical work is supporting individuals who have been recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital. She is especially committed to helping clients transition safely from inpatient care back into everyday life. Deborah emphasizes continuity of care, emotional stabilization, and skill-building to reduce the risk of rehospitalization. She partners closely with clients to reestablish routines, strengthen coping strategies, and rebuild confidence during this vulnerable and critical phase of recovery.
Deborah specializes in anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns, including work with military and veteran populations. She also supports individuals and couples navigating grief, midlife and later-life transitions, and significant relationship changes.
Her therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and faith-based treatment when aligned with the client’s values. In addition to these core methods, she offers additional therapeutic approaches to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.
