I have worked in various settings including schools, medical centers, and university-based clinics.

For many people coming for counseling is a last resort in a series attempts to find relief from overwhelming challenges or emotional and psychological healing. Most feel they have lost a sense of hope, meaning or purpose. If that's where you find yourself today, let me encourage you that hope is possible again! I believe all recovery and healing must take place holistically; body, mind and spirit. As a compassionate faith-based therapist, my focus is on creating a genuine collaborative relationship. I am dedicated to providing a respectful, non-judgmental environment in order to facilitate positive life change.

Life brings us all challenges. I won't judge you and will help you figure things out. My training as both a researcher and clinician offers my clients/patients a unique approach to therapy. I am supportive and compassionate, yet straight-forward in helping you find solutions that work. I am a seasoned, well-experienced therapist who can work with a wide-range of individuals and issues. I am trained in some of the latest, most effective therapies, but I still rely on the good old-fashioned approach of allowing myself to be a human, and getting to know you.

My areas of therapeutic specialty include depression, anxiety, crisis counseling, trauma, grief, chronic illness, stress-related disorder, and family issues regarding infertility and adoption. In addition, I have experience in the neuropsychological assessment of learning difficulties, attentional disorders, memory loss, traumatic brain injury and illness. An initial session need not be anxiety-provoking. Successful therapy largely depends upon establishing a base of rapport and mutual respect. The first appointment may take a bit longer than the typical 45-minute therapy session since I'll be asking more questions and gathering background information that is relevant to the situation. ***When making a decision about entering into therapy, it is certainly important to gather any information that you believe is relevant. However, when evaluating information obtained online, there are some important facts to consider. (1) All licensed psychologists are mandated reporters of abuse. (2) Sometimes people under investigation become angry and/or hostile. (3) Anybody can post anything anonymously online.

Welcome. My name is Deb and I help people create hopeful outcomes. Whether your difficulties are in the home, school, workplace or startup, I can help you see situations in new ways to generate positive results. I am passionate about helping people tap into their creativity, humanity and humor to identify strategies to achieve inner peace, strengthen relationships and solve problems.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and native Floridian. I received my Masters in Social Work at New York University, focusing on clinical practice. I connected with my true passion of working with individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities during my undergrad at the University of Florida. This passion led me to New York and after six years of studying and working in NYC I returned to my Florida roots and have since been working as a Private Therapist. One of my main assets is my ability to listen and understand effectively. I look forward to hearing from you.

I would like to extend a personal welcome to you. I have been fortunate to receive intensive, high-quality training in clinical psychology; I completed internship and postdoctoral fellowship in Child/Adolescent treatment at Dartmouth Medical School. I am so pleased to be able to provide effective, high-quality services to the community. During my time at Dartmouth, I received intensive training in evidence-based Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for traumatized individuals, including veterans and treatment of victims of physical, sexual, emotional abuse and neglect. I also specialize in treatment of anxiety and OCD.

Is the stress in your life keeping you from achieving your goals or fulfilling your dreams? Are there painful moments from your past that are holding you back? Are you experiencing significant health challenges that others don't understand? Would you like to find balance in your life? Talking to a therapist can help.

Do you ever wonder if you will ever be happy? Are you so overwhelmed with the daily stressors of work, relationships, parenthood, finances, or life in general that you want to run away from it all? I totally understand because we have all been there at one point in our lives. You are not alone! Life does not have to be difficult. Sometimes we need help getting our life on track; finding our joy or enhancing our relationships. My goal as a psychotherapist is to provide a safe and supportive environment to help you facilitate change, growth, and lead you on an exploratory journey to obtaining the life you want.

Unexpected things will happen from time to time, and some can be significant and life changing. Change can make you feel uncertain about what to do or how to manage things. It doesn't mean you are going to feel like that forever, and you don't have to go through it alone. It's OK, we've all been there. Although at times we might not have control over these situations, together we can figure out a way to better deal with all of it, coming out on top. I'm a BILINGUAL (Spanish/English) Therapist, with a passion for helping my clients discover positive and healthy ways to move forward.

I believe many adults are living an unfulfilled life due to unprocessed traumatic events that took place in their past. Present hardships may also encourage poor decision making which can result in regrets. Using biblical principles, I help guide individuals during their toughest seasons, and remind them that hope still lives. In addition to adults, I am experienced in helping adolescents cope and process traumatic events through evidence based techniques such as trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy. These events may include, but are not limited to rape, abandonment, abuse, divorced parents, and human trafficking.

Back in the 1980s, Penn & Teller used to perform a trick in which the audience would get to partially see the structure behind their magic. Once you know how a trick occurs, you are no longer surprised or affected by its presence and interaction the same way. This is how I view and interpret the changes that occur in the therapy process: we get a glimpse, an entrance, an understanding into the behaviors that hurt us, the words that weaken us, and the relationship dynamics that create specific repetitive reactions in us.

Congratulations! By searching for a therapist, you're taking a courageous first step toward improving your mental health. Choosing a therapist can be overwhelming but I believe it boils down to two things: finding a therapist with experience in the areas you need, and forging a strong therapeutic relationship with him/her - the single most important variable to success. I have advanced degrees in Education and Mental Health Counseling and had intensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy from the renowned Beck Institution for CBT. I'm also a member of the American Counseling Association.
