Mikayla & Robert
“Premarital Counseling with Debra was the BEST thing we did for our young marriage!
Before my husband and I got engaged, one of my non-negotiables once engaged was that I wanted to go through premarital counseling with him to make sure we went into our marriage as healthy and prepared as possible with the best tools in our kit.
We learned SO much about each other through this process and got to talk through and practice all of the “uncomfy” -but worthwhile things-we otherwise would not have had the space to do before the wedding day.
Debra provided such a calm and non-judgmental space for us both that allowed us to open up and gave us the opportunity to grow together. We are so grateful for her expertise and feel she is one of the biggest reasons for our thriving marriage!
All of our friends who have recently gotten engaged have been asking us things like, “what was the most important part of wedding planning?” or “what’s something I should consider doing after being newly engaged?” and we always just say, “Go see Debra.” We usually get some funny looks when saying that premarital counseling was one of the best things we ever did for ourselves (it’s not exactly…romantic or exciting to most people). But to us, it’s something we BOTH truly looked forward to every week leading up to our wedding, and has provided us such practical and applicable skills we can exercise every single day with each other.
Thank you, Debra, for the kindness & education you provided us with! We love you!”

“There are no words to express my gratitude for all the help and support Debra has given me and my family these past years. She is so incredibly gifted at connecting with her clients as well as teaching you how to connect with yourself. I never felt judged or shamed even in my darkest, most chaotic days where poor choices were plentiful. Debra has a genuine concern for her clients and gives them the tools they need for self-regulation, processing, and appreciating yourself for who and where you are. Without her guidance throughout the years, I would not be the strong independent secure person I am today. She taught me that I am more than my childhood trauma and attachment style, as well as how to sit with the hard stuff, learn, and grow from it. I always know that when I wobble, Debra has helped me tap into my toolbox. I no longer end up in a tailspin but rather embrace that wobble with curiosity and compassion. Forever grateful to you Debra, you are an amazing human.”
