Individual therapy for adults processing systemic and interpersonal trauma and exploring identity through a justice-oriented lens.

Working primarily with fellow neurodivergent, disabled, Asian/biracial/racialized, and LGBTQIA+ folks. Experience working with individuals within academia.

Integrative approach drawing from relational, attachment-based, somatic, parts-work, positive disintegration.

Outside of counselling, Debra loves to read and can be found in city parks having heated (but playful) discussions about books over bubble tea. She also loves teaching Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of Toronto and writing blog posts about neurodivergence for Embrace Autism.
