Hi!  My name is Deanna and I have several years of experience working with adults and teenagers.  My specialty is being able to see a client for the person they are rather than having their past or others define them or hold them back.  I believe that building a trusting rapport is vital while we walk on this journey together.  You hold the answers and ability within you to turn your life around, embracing your strengths and unique qualities, building on the resiliency within due to what you have already been through, and opening the door to the possibilities ahead of you.  Self-awareness is the key that unlocks those options in your life, and peace can be achieved as you turn your life experiences, both pleasant and challenging, into the wisdom and insight that will propel you forward with the goals you desire.  My intention is to walk beside you, guiding and supporting, as you discover the possibilities of your life and find peace within.

I have experience with the following modalities:  Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-focused Therapy (SFT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), and Group Therapy, as well as working with clients who have struggled with depression, anxiety, self-worth, dysfunctional relationships, trauma and addiction.  I have leadership experience, overseeing a whole clinical team, supervising each member individually, and training and guiding internships with those who are embarking on their own educational and experiential journeys.  While I love the interactive cohesion of the team and with each individual staff member, my passion is in working with the individual clients as they discover who they are, how they want to show up in their own lives and have healthy relationships with those around them.  I look forward to getting to know you better while we discover what is possible for your life.
