Meet Deborah
A guiding philosophy on therapy | “It is not the mountain that gets moved that makes a difference. It is the little steps taken, one at a time.” Claudia Black, Ph.D., MSW
Deborah acknowledged and accepted her life purpose as a therapeutic professional at a young age; working at a crisis center hotline at 17. She became a clinical psychologist in 1991 and has worked with thousands of individuals to heal trauma and integrate new strategies into their lives.
Over the years, Deborah has refined her therapeutic approach to include traditional and holistic practices. Her own personal seeking of more effective techniques for empowerment, healing and growth aligned her with some of the most innovative therapies offered today. A sampling of therapies that have produced tremendous impact and successful results for her clients are EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reproccessing), EFT (Emotional Freedom Therapy), TAT (Tapas Accupressure Technique), hypnosis, aromatherapy, visualizations, music, affirmations and energy therapies.
Deborah honors each client and creates a safe environment for growth and clearing. Sessions unfold as needed and clients leave with a sense of wellbeing. Progress is client-paced and Deborah respects each individual, exactly as they are. Her belief is that every person is unique and offers great value to others.
Clients that benefit most from Deborah’s therapeutic sessions have a realization that something is in their way for optimized potential and growth. Deborah specializes in stress-reduction, fear and trauma relief, weight loss, conflict resolution, relationship enhancement, fear of public speaking, intuition development, and addictions. Her foundational belief is that God is the ultimate source of all healing, for all people.
Deborah is also certified in HypnoBirthing®. She offers childbirth classes that teach deep relaxation, self-hypnosis and fear release. These techniques eliminate the fear and tension that cause long labor and pain, replacing them with confidence, calm and comfort.
Additionally, Deborah is a Reiki Master. “Reiki” is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It works to achieve balance and harmony to the client’s body, mind and spirit simultaneously. Deborah is also currently studying Chinese Energetic Medicine under the instruction of its founder, Dr. Kam Yuen.
Deborah has completed the Critical Incidence Stress Management training through the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation, Inc. She currently works to resolve cognitive, emotional and physical symptoms related to trauma.
She earned a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Detroit Mercy. She is a Michigan Limited Licensed Psychologist (L.L.P.) and a Certified Addictions Counselor (ICAAC).
