My Approach in Action:
Feeling stuck in a relationship can be deeply distressing, especially when divorce feels like the only option. I specialize in Discernment Counseling to help couples find clarity. For example, I worked with a pair who felt they had reached a point of no return. Instead of immediately trying to “fix” things, we paused to explore all three paths: ending the relationship, committing to change, or staying the course. This structured, short-term process lowered the emotional intensity and allowed them to make a thoughtful, confident decision about their future, free from pressure or regret.

A Personal Note From Debra:
In moments of high stress or conflict, our emotions can take over, leaving us feeling reactive and out of control. I am committed to helping you find a sense of calm and centeredness, even when life feels chaotic. Using mindfulness techniques, we can work together to create a space between a trigger and your reaction. This empowers you to respond to challenges with intention and clarity rather than impulse. My goal is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you can navigate difficult transitions and build a more peaceful, mindful way of living.
