About
In therapy, Debbi enjoys integrating neurophysiology into her sessions, educating clients and applying this information to their care in layman’s terms. She collaborates with each client to both create and engage in their plan for healing. Furthermore, she makes a practice of incorporating the entire person: body, mind, soul and spirit in her work. Debbi has long-term experience with clients of various cultures, including U.S. citizens and immigrants/refugees. She works with clients aged 13 through the lifespan to develop an expanding ability to be present, whole and free.
