Deborah has extensive experience supporting children, youth, adults,
older adults, couples, and families in hospital, community,
rehabilitation, and mental health settings.
As a Black woman, immigrant, and settler living and practising on Treaty
1 Territory, Deborah is committed to providing a safe, inclusive,
culturally responsive, and non-judgmental space where every client feels
seen, heard, and valued. She believes healing begins through genuine
connection and works collaboratively with clients to build on their
strengths while navigating life's challenges.
Deborah supports clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief
and loss, relationship concerns, stress, emotional regulation
difficulties, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, caregiver
burnout, and cultural adjustment. She also welcomes healthcare
professionals, newcomers, and clients who wish to integrate faith and
spirituality into therapy.
Her work is person-centred, trauma-informed, strengths-based, and
evidence-informed, integrating Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT),
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
(ACT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, psychoeducation, and
attachment-informed practices to meet each client's unique needs and
goals.
Outside of the therapy room, Deborah enjoys spending time with her
husband and three children, serving in her church community, reading,
and lifelong learning.
Whether you are seeking support, healing, or personal growth, Deborah
would be honoured to walk alongside you. You are welcome to connect by
