More about Deborah
- 25 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
With over 25 years of dedicated experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life challenges. My therapeutic approach centers on helping clients work through addictions, relationship dynamics, family conflicts, and personal growth. I have a deep understanding of women's experiences and offer compassionate guidance for those struggling with control issues, intimacy concerns, and significant life transitions.
My practice is rooted in creating a supportive, empowering environment where clients can explore their strengths, develop healthier coping strategies, and transform challenging patterns. I believe in meeting each person exactly where they are, offering personalized support that honors their unique journey and potential for meaningful change.
I also have been in recovery from alcoholism for the last 39 years. I understand alcoholism and addictions.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
