I am a certified licensed therapist in two states with over thirty years of experience. I received my degree from Antioch University Seattle and have worked with adults in a variety of settings throughout my career. I, particularly, specialize in working with women. I employ a person-centered approach based on respect, knowledge, and empowerment.
Finding the right therapist is not easy. Often times a degree or years of experience can be irrelevant as it relates to a successful therapeutic connection. I believe in a counseling session an individual needs to feel comfortable, heard, and valued by a therapist. I can offer someone these integral pieces as a therapist, as well as, genuinely caring about the individual's experiences.
Feel free to contact me with any questions regarding how I work, availability, etc. I look forward to hearing from you and working with you.
Additional areas of focus: LGBT, Relationship issues, Intimacy-related issues, Sleeping disorders, Parenting issues, Self esteem, Coping with life changes, HIV / AIDS, Hospice and End of Life Counseling, Postpartum Depression
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Deb is amazing. She listens to me and she gives me constructive ways to work through my issues. Her compassion feels like it is never ending, but she is also able to steer me toward solutions and away from wallowing.
