About Debra

I’m an LCSW and currently licensed in Florida and Utah. I have many years of professional work experience in multiple settings and have pretty much enjoyed every job I ever had. I’ve learned a wide range of problem-solving skills over the years which is nice because I tend to be solution oriented. A few areas I have experience in include helping clients with grief/loss, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, dealing with aging parents, coping with life changes, and narcissistic abuse recovery. It makes sense to me that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I’m here to help educate and support your process.

What clients say

  • “very easy to get comfortable with, kind knowledgeable and wise”
  • “I like that she has an approach that feels more “real life” than what a person would assume a therapist to be. There’s plenty of space to talk and different goals and ways to approach an issue. Brings clarity that I didn’t have before and creates an easy going comfortable space.”
  • “She is so down to earth, easy to connect with, and hilarious. She also does not enable me to stay in a rut. I appreciate her honesty and just everything about her!”
