A Collaborative Partnership for Meaningful Growth

Hi, I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes that the most impactful work happens through a dedicated, active collaboration. I am driven by those pivotal moments in therapy when clarity is reached and a path forward emerges. With nearly a decade of experience, I provide a focused space for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, or major life transitions who are ready to move beyond "just getting by."

My practice is designed for those seeking to reclaim their authentic voice through a committed therapeutic process. I work best with clients who view therapy as an active partnership and are ready to do work between sessions. Together, we will focus on the insights and practical tools necessary for your personal evolution.

Una Colaboración Dedicada para un Crecimiento Significativo

Hola, soy una Consejera Profesional Licenciada que cree que el trabajo más impactante ocurre a través de una colaboración activa y dedicada. Me motivan esos momentos clave en la terapia donde se alcanza la claridad y surge un camino a seguir. Con casi una década de experiencia, ofrezco un espacio enfocado para personas que navegan por la ansiedad, la depresión o transiciones importantes de vida y que están listas para dejar de "simplemente sobrevivir."

Mi práctica está diseñada para quienes buscan recuperar su voz auténtica a través de un proceso terapéutico comprometido y colaborativo. Trabajo mejor con clientes que ven la terapia como una colaboración activa y están listos para seguir trabajando entre sesiones. Juntos, nos enfocaremos en las perspectivas y herramientas prácticas necesarias para su evolución personal.

Hi, I’m Debra. Life’s challenges can sometimes leave us feeling disconnected from who we truly are. I believe that each person’s story matters, and I bring a genuine curiosity and compassion to understanding the experiences that have shaped you.

Together, we can explore your personal narrative, identify patterns that may no longer serve you, and build on the strengths you already possess. I work with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, mood disorders, life transitions, and the everyday challenges that can impact well-being. My goal is to provide a supportive, collaborative space where you can gain insight, find healing, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and aligned with your values.

Hello! I'm an LPC offering individual counseling to adolescents, college students, and adults experiencing difficulties such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, among other areas. I received my BS in Psychology from Texas Christian University in 2016 and my MS in Counseling from East Texas A&M in 2018. Growing up, I loved helping others and felt that listening and empathy came naturally to me. It's a privilege now to bring these same aspects into my role as a counselor.
