More about Debra
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I have made my home and established a private practice in rural Oregon with my family and animals. Through my work, I am committed to helping people with relationship issues, childhood trauma, abuse, overcome addictions to alcohol and drugs, illness, age related issues, vicarious trauma, depression, anxiety, and other stresses that affect all of us at some time in our lives.
I believe that healing is a collaborative endeavor that requires honest caring without judgment, and I cooperatively assist my clients in clarifying their goals for treatment. Rather than using one approach for all individuals and issues, I draw from a variety of methods to create a tailored approach for each individual and situation. As a therapist, I am warm, open, encouraging, and direct. I consider myself an active therapist, combining experience, education, creativity, and sense of humor with a down-to-earth, realistic approach to counseling.
I believe that we all go through things in life that can make us feel tired, depressed, anxious, scared, lonely, angry and upset. When we go through these things we can hold onto the pain internally and it can manifest into our relationships, our jobs, our self care and our ability to manage our own internal self.
I have spent over 30 years working with adolescents & adults in social services. I have seen people at their best and their worst, their strongest and their weakest. I have myself fallen hard and been able to recreate myself through my own journey of self awareness.
In my darkest time I lost my shine, and it takes daily work to keep it. I truly believe that we all have shine inside and as we go through life, our shine can dull but through learning about yourself and learning to love your true self that shine will find its way to the surface.
As a solution-focused therapist, I can help you tap into your inherent strengths and uncover your true potential. Helping you understand and resolve challenges in your life is my focus. Through enhancing your personal tools, I can help you overcome life’s painful experiences and help you grow in all areas of your life.
Whether you’re just looking for guidance through a difficult situation or you’re looking to empower yourself and head in a new direction in life, I can help you achieve your goals.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
