My name is Debora, I am an Art Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor (in state of PA) who offers warm, person-centered care designed to help you feel empowered in your healing. I specialize in supporting emerging adults and adults in mid life who may be experienced past trauma, major life milestones or hardships, grief and loss. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you navigate difficult life transitions, and build practical skills that lead to lasting change.

Why people choose to work with me:

• I focus on collaborative, person-centered care that prioritizes your autonomy and strengths.

• I integrate art-based methods with evidence-informed therapies to make difficult material more accessible and transformative.

• I offer clear structure and consistent feedback while remaining compassionate and validating.

• I’m a relatable, empathic listener who affirms your experience and offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore yourself.

• I have extensive experience across settings—outpatient, inpatient, and community-based services—so I’m comfortable supporting a wide range of needs and transitions.

  A snapshot of about me:

  I graduated from Drexel University with a degree in Art Therapy and Counseling (2016) and bring ten years of experience in Philadelphia behavioral health working with children, adolescents, and adults. I also volunteer regularly with nonprofit organizations in Philadelphia that are focused on immigrant rights, LGBTQ rights and food access to our communities.

  In my downtime I make abstract paintings as a creative outlet. I also recharge in nature—camping, hiking, or anywhere near water are my happy place. My family is everything to me, including my pet leopard gecko, Coco El Greco.
