Deborah's career in addictions counseling began in 1992 at Eugenia Psychiatric Hospital. There she was a vital member of the "Safe Haven" staff; specializing in providing an environment of healing for sexually abused and addicted women. Her specialty groups consisted of issues related to addiction, sexual abuse, eating disorders and anger management. Her work at Eugenia also included extensive counseling with adolescents as well as the general population. Deborah's commitment to those suffering from addictions led her to Villanova University, where she achieved her Certification in Addictions Counseling.

My preferred method of treatment includes providing patients and their families the opportunity to gain awareness in the area of addiction and dual diagnosis treatment. Patients are involved in treatment modalities that include individual, group and family counseling. However, my services are also available to the loved one of addicted patients. Many family members are not provided with the opportunity for treatment, how addiction and mental disorders has had effected them. I give families and spouses the opportunity to learn about themselves and what they may need to change through treatment and support programs outside of treatment.

Thinking about therapy? It can be hard to find a good fit with a therapist, there is a lot to consider. The many different approaches, some contradicting each other at times, can be overwhelming. One thing I have loved about therapy is for most situations there isn't just one right answer or direction.

The goals that people work on in therapy can involve anything that is important to them- learning healthier ways to express anger, finding new ways to cope with the effects of past traumas, stabilizing mood episodes (e.g., mania, depression), maintaining and establishing sobriety, improving their relationship with themself and others, and more.

“I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to process your own story. Taking this journey can be scary to most people. Exploring through the most challenging seasons in our lives, opening chapters we choose to close to protect ourselves from ourselves and others, is emotionally exhausting. Facing these childhood or transgenerational experiences is tough. Oftentimes we may choose alternative coping m as addiction, gambling, bonding relationships, and other soothing methods to cope with unresolved trauma. You deserve a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning. How can I help you in this journey?
