About
At Life Focus Counseling, Deborah focuses on healing the mind, body, and spirit, acknowledging the strong connections between mental and physical health. Her approach is client-centered and inclusive, meeting clients where they are and helping them move toward healing in a way that feels right for them. Deborah's specialties include anxiety, behavioral issues, depression, eating disorders, and grief. She uses various evidence-based therapies and tools, such as EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, and play therapy, to tailor each session to her clients' needs. Deborah's background in business and her experience as a women's fitness center owner have shaped her practice, emphasizing the link between mind and body. With over 40 years of marriage and raising three children, Deborah brings practical and compassionate understanding to her work, helping clients create long-lasting change rather than short-term fixes.
