With a B.S. in Psychology, she brings a solid academic foundation and a genuine commitment to helping individuals and couples navigate life's complexities.  Her diverse background includes experience in both the military and the tech industry.

Drawing on narrative therapy and emotionally focused therapy, Deanna helps clients explore the stories that define their lives, supporting them in reshaping these narratives to reflect resilience, strength, and hope and exploring their emotions and attachment needs. By empowering clients to rewrite their journeys, she fosters self-determination and the discovery of new possibilities.

Her practice is an inclusive, affirming space where diversity is celebrated and clients from all races, faiths, genders, identities, sexual orientations, consensual relationship dynamics, and unique backgrounds feel welcomed and respected.
