Testimonials

Debra’s therapeutic insights are elegant, precise, and profound. She is always professional, attuned to detail, and extraordinarily up to date on current research and resources. Debra is eminently trustworthy, focused, and dedicated to making positive change in her clients’ lives. I regularly refer clients to her and highly recommend her as a therapist.

My professional experience with Debra dates back to the mid 2000’s when we were involved in a consulting group that spanned over 10 years.  My collegial relationship with Debra shows her as an avid learner staying abreast of current research as well as continuing to hone her skills through professional development conferences and workshops above and beyond what is required by the licensing board.

In my professional experience with Debra I found her to be a curious being as well as a kind and caring one.  She looks to your strengths and is attuned to her clients’ needs and goals…plus she has a great sense of humor!

While I was Debra’s Supervisee, I thought she did an excellent job of holding a safe space for us to feel vulnerable and discuss clinical concerns. She brought professionalism, thoughtfulness and a strong clinical lens to each group. Now as a supervisor, I realize how much of an impression she left on me as well as how that experience of watching her lead has informed my own work. I truly appreciate her leadership style and her ability to be strong yet approachable at the same time.

As a group supervisor she was an excellent teacher, particularly in areas related to ethics and professional responsibility. In our individual meetings, I appreciated her clarity and presence, always supportive and full of creative suggestions for my work with clients. Debra is a person of utmost integrity. She is passionate about her work, her continual training and has a huge heart. All of this comes through both personally and professionally. I refer clients to her often as I trust they will be in good hands with her support.
