Hi, and welcome! I’m Deborah, and I’m so pleased you’re here. Deciding to explore counseling is a big step, and it shows how much you value your well-being.

My goal is to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges, offering guidance, empathy, and a safe environment to explore what matters most to you. Let’s take the first step together—because you don’t have to face this alone.
My Story
Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. Taking the first step toward counseling is a significant moment, and I want to assure you that you’re in the right place to begin your journey.
​
My career in supporting others began over 12 years ago as a holistic therapist, specializing in treatments like Reflexology and Indian Head Massage. During these sessions, I noticed that clients often opened up about their thoughts and concerns. The safe and calming environment created a space where they could reflect and feel truly heard. These moments made me realize the profound impact of simply listening, which inspired me to pursue counseling to offer even greater support.
​
I also have over a decade of experience working with children in school settings, supporting those with neurodiversity and social, emotional, and mental health challenges. Through play and creative interventions, I helped many young people build confidence, overcome obstacles, and develop resilience. These experiences deepened my understanding of how unique every individual’s journey is, and how important it is to provide tailored support.
​
One of my key areas of focus is helping individuals who have experienced domestic abuse. I am passionate about guiding people as they rebuild self-esteem, rediscover their confidence, and take steps toward a life they may have thought was out of reach. It’s an honor to walk alongside my clients as they achieve goals that once seemed impossible.
My journey to becoming a counselor was not without its own challenges. Over five years of study, I balanced raising my family on my own with a deep commitment to learning and growing as a professional. These experiences shaped who I am today—someone who understands the challenges of life but also the strength it takes to move forward.
​
I strive to provide a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. My goal is to help you make sense of where you are, ease your worries, and guide you toward a more fulfilling and empowered future.
​
If you’re ready to take that next step, I’d be honored to support you on your journey.
