“Girl, you got it all together!” That’s what they say. But inside you’re falling apart because you feel so stuck and unhappy. You no longer connect with the person that others see on the outside, because you’re paralyzed on the inside. So instead you go through your days wearing a mask, feeling like a failure, stressed & overwhelmed, and/or battling feelings of unworthiness or not being enough. You find yourself asking, “When is life REALLY going to begin for me?” As a Licensed Therapist, I ...

My experience at Child Guidance Resource Centers and in a College Clinic has given me the opportunity to work with many adults, children, ...
Hi! My name is Debaki and I've been a licensed psychologist since 2014. I've received specialized training for trauma and addiction but I meet individuals who see me for a wide variety of reasons including but not limited to stress, anxiety, depression, identity, and cultural issues. I know that being a student can be both exciting but daunting in many ways. Sometimes, it can help to meet with someone who can help you understand your motivations, explore your history, and develop coping ...

You are stressed because you are in school and are not getting the grades you (and your parents) expect. Academic and social pressures make you feel burned out. You’re not sure how to break into different friend groups on campus and see them on Instagram all the time. Big questions of like keep constantly running in the background of your mind: “Why am I in this major?” “What’s the purpose of all this?” Make money, be “successful” — you don’t even know what that means anymore. Adulting is right ...

Finally deciding to seek out therapy can sometimes feel overwhelming and even increase uncomfortable feelings. Finding the "right fit" with a therapist may mean having that momentary discomfort of making that first phone call... but you are worth it when it means finally getting the support you deserve. I am open to chatting or emailing to find out if I am the right fit for you or if I can help you find someone who is. Don't be afraid to ask questions. (You can also find me on Facebook at Ca...

My practice is open to clients exploring their identity, b...
College is a period of time of big transitions in a person's life. My hope is that therapy can provide you a place to improve emotional distress, heal from past wounds, and increase fulfillment in your life. I believe taking a collaborative approach to therapy as you are the expert of your own situation. As a trauma-informed therapist I believed it is essential to create a safe therapeutic environment. The focus of therapy is on your strengths and to build on your resiliency. I look forwar...
I believe most clients want to enjoy a life which includes meaning, balance, and solid relationships including with themselves. Self-understanding and self-compassion contribute to self-empowerment and a stable sense of well-being whether alone or with others. Feeling that your therapist "gets you" and likes you can make it safe to explore one's inner world and reflect on thoughts, emotions, default patterns and potential new behaviors. I draw on many approaches in counseling and trauma recov...
