Deborah has been practicing for over ten years and her approach has developed and been shaped by her experience and those she has worked with. Currently Deborah has a mixed practice and works with teens, families, parents, couples and adults. Deborah also does parent-infant psychotherapy, where she focuses on attachment and bonding, and parent-child relationships. Deborah believes that the power of therapy lies in the client’s ability to find their own sense of direction, when given the space and frame in which to do so.

Deborah works psychoanalytically, and is interested in mechanisms of psychotherapeutic change from a perspective of how our brains evolve to learn, unlearn, and relearn. Although neurobiology plays a significant role in psychotherapeutic change there are many other subtleties and complexities as far as human behavior is concerned. Therapists have to look beyond words, diagnoses, and presenting problems to the inner and outer histories of their clients. There are various paths towards “wholeness” and preferred change. This shift embraces both verbal and non verbal processes, and takes place in an integrated mind-body space.
