She incorporates a blending of strong clinical skills and spirituality where mind, body, and spirit are cared for in a unique way. The goal is personal growth, and hope is for long-term healing.

The type of treatment that Debbie provides for her clients is scientifically based in cognitive/behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT demonstrates how thoughts and emotions directly impact behavior. It is especially useful when working with anxiety, depression and a variety of other mental health problems. With her additional training in clinical pastoral counseling, she can also incorporate spirituality into the counseling process. Often, clients experience significant losses in their lives and existential questions can be best addressed by delving deeper into life’s purpose and meaning.  

Other types of clinical interventions are utilized as needed depending on the type of problems presented in therapy and also taking into considerations the client's goals when seeking treatment.
