Working with Debra was pivotal to my wellbeing. It marked a new stage of inner growth and healing. Each visit I found that Debra was by my side, compassionately guiding me and supporting me in finding my truth and voice. I discovered myself in the period of time we worked together and will be forever grateful.

Debra is a wonderful therapist. She is empathic and very present in the sessions. She brings a lot of experience and wisdom into her work. She has helped me greatly with issues at hand and I have come out of the sessions with more confidence, clarity and a much better understanding of myself and my relationships.

Debra is a warm, caring , person who listens without judgement. She has supported me through some difficult times and has always been there for me through thick and thin. She is very easy to talk to, and creates a warm safe space which makes me feel heard. I am very grateful to have met her and for her support. I would highly recommend her as a therapist.

I consulted Debra in person last visit but also consulted online. Debra was welcoming, respectful and kind, with a wealth of experience. She has great insight and put things into perspective for me. Put me at ease so very easy to talk to. Debra created a safe and confidential space. It wasn't my first visit so that speaks for itself. I would highly recommend Debra as a therapist.
