Reclaim your life. You have a destined purpose. You are not without hope or a future and stuck forever. I provide a safe place where you can be understood, pour out your heart, clear your head and find peace and clarity. My passion is to empower and strengthen you with resources for life. Uncontrollable negative emotions can cause hurt, loss, and hold us captive like slaves, causing problems like insomnia, or relationship and health issues, robbing us and stealing precious time. That's not living a best life. Is this you? I help individuals overcome. I did. You can too. Don't try to wait or fix it. Stop the cycle, it's a new day.

In my practice I provide psychotherapy to adults, teenagers, and couples in a warm, patient, non-judgmental environment. My office is an inviting, safe space for healing.

I assist in empowering people with areas such as work, school, and change in living dynamics, disabilities, chronic illness, self-care, relationship breakups and divorce. I have extensive experience with diversity, spirituality, and individuals from various cultural backgrounds.

My ideal client are young males ages 6-18, and married men who want to be better husbands and fathers. Growing up in households without male role models often has boys/men needing guidance. Without guidance can lead to current and future family dysfunction leading to divorce, duplicating fatherless homes, and making bad choices in life. I UNDERSTAND what it is like to have that "absent father void". I also understand what it is like to be a husband trying his best to become "that good father and husband" to his wife. Let's talk about how to get there. Please stay encouraged.

As a therapist, my goal is to provide a safe and compassionate space where ANYONE can receive encouragement and support as they navigate life's challenges.

I am committed to helping clients unwind stuck, repetitive, and critical patterns in their lives. I empathize deeply, having experienced similar struggles myself without judgement… I know, I’ve been there. I get it. Can’t talk to friends or family because all they want to do is give you advice instead of just listening? Call me, this is a judgement free zone.

Change is a constant in life, often catching us off guard and leaving us feeling out of sync. Whether we're questioning if we changed too soon, resisting change, or simply unaware that change is necessary, this discord can lead to emotional and physical difficulties. We might find ourselves in unfamiliar territory or uncertain of how to navigate our current circumstances. As your Therapist, or as I like to call myself, your Journey Agent, I'm here to guide you to your desired destination, even if that destination is finding peace in where you are right now.

You hold yourself to a higher standard yet, lately seem to have lost focus and struggle to maintain your motivation. You find yourself starting to believe the small voice in the back of your head stating that you are not good enough. You go to lengths to take great care of others, however, do not extend the same love and care to yourself. You put on a happy face and pretend that all is well, however, often can feel very much alone and anxious. You may feel consumed by: sadness, fear, anger or hopelessness; and even the simplest of tasks seems overwhelming. You long to get back to your old self and find joy and meaning in life.

Hello, I am Deborah. I am a Limited License Professional Counselor practicing as a therapist and life coach. My educational background in counseling gives me an unique and effective approach to helping in facilitating change in clients experiencing mental health and behavioral issues. As a counselor I work to provide clients with tailored treatment plans that can be integrated into their daily lives. I have a masters level education in mental health counseling from Central Michigan University and I am a professional member of the American Counseling Association.

My professional life has been consistently focused on serving people in need. After obtaining my bachelors degree from Michigan State University, I initially worked in the Governor's office in Lansing. I then decided to exercise my entrepreneurial spirit and transitioned into helping guide economically challenged families to find better housing solutions by developing low cost single family homes and developing large tracts of vacant and abandoned land. This work of helping families led me to desire doing work even more impactful, which led to my returning to school and obtaining my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from the Michigan School of Professional Psychology.
