She also has experience with compassion fatigue and related concerns. Sessions focus on practical skills and steady support to address what is happening now.

She also addresses family of origin and family problems, guilt and shame, forgiveness, impulsivity, and hospice and end-of-life counseling.
Debra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She helps people identify small, concrete steps they can try between meetings. Expect a straightforward, respectful approach that focuses on building skills and increasing confidence in daily life.
