Those approaches guide practical, evidence-informed work on patterns of thought and behavior, communication in relationships, and rebuilding connection where it has been strained.
Debra specializes in concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She also provides focused support for LGBT clients, family difficulties, eating and body image concerns, career transitions, and coping with life changes. Additional areas of emphasis include aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, cancer-related adjustment, hospice and end-of-life counseling, isolation and loneliness, midlife transitions, panic and mood disorders, and process addictions such as gambling, exercise, or pornography-related behaviors.
Her practice emphasizes empathy, respect for diverse backgrounds, and collaborative goal-setting. Based in Tennessee, she offers services in English and accepts clients who are located within the state.
