Hi, I'm Deborah.
Like many of you, I spent years doing all the “right” things—showing up for my family and loved ones—while slowly becoming overwhelmed, exhausted, and emotionally depleted. In 2009, a series of deep losses and life changes shook my foundation. I was alone, unsure how to ask for help, and disconnected from my true self.
Reaching out to an attachment-based trauma therapist changed everything for me. That moment marked the beginning of my healing journey—and now, I support others in their own passage.
If life has you feeling stuck, disconnected, or like you’re running into the same emotional walls over and over again, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I’ve got you. Using body–mind approaches, I help humans gently unravel the deeper layers of trauma and emotional pain. Together, we create a safe, grounded space where your nervous system can settle, your inner parts can be heard, so your story can shift—toward clarity, ease, and deep self-compassion!
