I received both my bachelors in Anthropology and my masters in Clinical Mental Health from the University of Northern Colorado (go Bears!).

Having a hard time focusing? Thinking and thinking about why you are not doing what you want to be doing? Feeling like no one can help you change? The confusion can be overwhelming and cause anxiety and depression symptoms that interfere with relationships and personal development. Change is difficult and together we can explore the parts of your life that may be in conflict or turmoil. It is time to put yourself first and through exploration, you'll build internal strength, resilience, and resources to support a more complete you.

Hello,

I’m Deborah, and I’m here to support you on your journey to healing and growth.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse populations - adult individuals and couples in private practice. I have extensive experience helping clients navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, substance use disorder, trauma, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

I look forward to understanding your unique needs and discovering how I can best support you. Whether you're facing challenging emotions, difficult life changes, or seeking personal growth, I am here to listen and help you move forward.

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), and Licensed Addictions Counselor (LAC) in Colorado. My counseling career began in 2007 after earning my master’s degree, and I furthered my expertise by obtaining a doctorate in counselor education and supervision.

Take the first step towards healing—you're not alone, and support is available.

My aim is to support people to live a present, engaged and fulfilled life. My clients feel stressed out to the point of feeling collapse; unworthy of love, overwhelmed and unheard. Many have PTSD from abuse /neglect as a child, impacts of generational/cultural/religious patterns, or traumatic events. My clients symptoms show up as anxiety, changes in mood, inability to regulate and/or navigate life. unresolved trauma, fear, depression, anger, grief, physical pain and chronic health issues.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a background in trauma-informed care, neurodivergence, and complex relational dynamics. I work primarily with adults and older teens who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break, or exhausted from holding it all together.

My work is informed by training in Brainspotting, DBT, OCD, attachment-based therapy, and somatic approaches, alongside traditional talk therapy. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, suicidal ideation, personality disorders, ADHD, identity exploration, LGBTQIA+, emotional regulation, and relationship stress. I also work with clients navigating burnout, life transitions, and the long-term impact of childhood or relational trauma.

I value therapy that is honest, collaborative, and grounded in real life. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment, and I tailor my work to each client’s needs, capacity, and goals.

I came to counseling after having already completed a successful career and was looking for something different. I completed graduate school in Texas and have since become licensed in both Texas and Colorado. The majority of my work is in general counseling and I also work with couples and families. I have worked for University of Texas schools as well as for the University of Alabama. While working in the UT system schools I helped with veterans issues and transition to civilian life. During Covid I provided counseling for military families and first responders.
