About Debra

Have you ever felt stuck in the same problematic cycle with your family, significant other(s), or even yourself? Have you ever struggled to transform unwanted thoughts, feelings, or actions into something brand new? If so, just know you’re not alone. You’ve already done the hard part: acknowledging life’s difficulties and seeking additional support. I’d be honored to help guide you along your journey towards positive change.

As a systemic therapist, I recognize the importance of each client’s unique social context in the complex world around us. More specifically, I take into account clients’ race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion/spirituality, ability, etc. to help solve problems. Whether working with couples, families, or individuals, I pay special attention to relationships and the role you play within them. By prioritizing empathetic, client-centered care, I collaborate with my clients to achieve their therapeutic goals. Different models I integrate into my practice include but are not limited to CBT, EFT, IFS, ACT, and Narrative Therapy.

With my Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northwestern University, I have had the privilege of supporting a diverse range of couples, families, and individuals over the course of two years. Now, with my Associate’s License for Marriage and Family Therapy, I look forward to continuing this rewarding work here at Grace Therapy and Wellness Center. Please reach out to me if interested in a consultation for sessions. Thank you!
