Empowering Humans
Is life not going as well as you would like?
You've noticed the spark is gone from your relationship.
Your confidence is at an all-time low.
You're burnt out from working too much.
Your mind is working overtime, leaving you exhausted.
You wake up feeling extremely sad and you don't know why.
You are not alone... most people reach out because life is a struggle or they are drowning in emotional pain and desperately want things to be better. I honor your courage to taking the step toward building connections with yourself and those you care about… Let’s get you feeling more balanced!
As a certified EMDR therapist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I will compassionately hold space for your mind, body, emotions, and spirit… as they are intricately connected. All healing lies within each of us and we can find solutions, ease, and agency after we untangle what holds us back from authentic living. When we can be seen for who we are, approached with respect and safety, and held in openness and curiosity, our suffering can be transformed into healing and inner joy for participating out in the world with true self expression.

Hi, I'm Deborah.
I’m no different from the clients I see. Like everyone else, I'm human. I've been through both wonderful and difficult experiences that have shaped who I am and how I help.
After numerous significant losses in my life, I began to see how my childhood experiences were affecting my present life. I sought help through EMDR, IFS, and Somatic Experiencing, which allowed me to change my patterns (especially the ones I wasn't aware I was doing) and have deeper trust within myself and with others. Therapy changed my life and it's my life's passion to bring the tools and extensive trainings I've learned to others so they can have profound change in their lives.
My expertise is in working with adults who have experienced difficult times in their childhood and/or in their current daily living. I am a lifelong learner and will ALWAYS seek out the best and most effective methods for helping others. My goal is to relieve the emotions running the show and start helping you get back to really living a full authentic life.
Let's connect!

Trauma is the response to experiences where your sense of safety feels threatened and you're left feeling broken, helpless, and voiceless.
Trauma is almost always an underlying cause of various mental health conditions.
Unhealed trauma can show up as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, personality or mood disorders, codependency, physical illness, and other symptoms.
I help you change your life and gently heal your trauma by processing shame, and guilt.

Somatic Experiencing offers a framework to assess where a person is “stuck” in the fight, flight or freeze responses and helps resolve these fixated physiological states.
Somatic Experiencing works from the outside edges inward to the core of the trauma. While the pace may be slow, the discharge and release of traumatic activation from your nervous system can be very powerful.
With this release your nervous system can return to a healthier range of resiliency and healing can take place for more authentic daily living.

EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that helps you reprocess painful memories and experiences. EMDR regulates the nervous system and reshapes brain patterns so that what was previously triggering can be confronted without emotional spiraling.
EMDR can help balance your mood and make you feel much more at peace, as well as improve communication, boundaries, and relationships.
Many clients are surprised by how efficient and permanent the effect of EMDR is and how they go from feeling broken to feeling whole.
