Deanne began her journey to help clients out of her quest to know freedom, joy, and abundant life. Even while experiencing the heartache of dysfunctional relationships, she believes life is worth living. Deep within, she holds the capacity to experience both joy and sorrow. Emotions add color to life, and Deanne believes the ability to feel emotions, complicated or pleasant, is one of the greatest gifts she is blessed to live out. As a counselor, Deanne seeks to create a safe space for her clients to wrestle with the pain and suffering they experience, while offering compassion and hope. She brings empathy, honesty and sees beauty in brokenness. Everyone has a story. Deanne specializes in helping clients find freedom by owning their stories, revisiting painful memories, and offering tools to develop healthy relationships. When Deanne steps away from work or study, she is in the great outdoors exploring the beauty of nature with her family and friends. Deanne is a leader, sister, caregiver, friend, and cheerleader for her nieces and nephews. She loves adventure, humor, and a good cup of coffee.
