Committed to meeting clients at their unique life juncture, I provide a nurturing, empathetic, and non-judgmental space for the therapeutic journey. My work is grounded in the belief that the relationship between one’s inner world and outer circumstances can be both a source of struggle and a terrain for healing.

My approach is integrative, holistic, and multiculturally informed. Drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), reality therapy, and mindfulness, I tailor each session to the individual. As an EMDRIA-approved EMDR therapist, I am trained to support clients in processing trauma at a deeper level. I also work with couples to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and navigate relational challenges — and I serve as a clinical supervisor for emerging mental health professionals.

Holding a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from New York University and an advanced certificate in LGBT Health, Education, and Social Services, my training is complemented by hands-on experience as a residential counselor in psychiatric hospitals and group homes.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, multicultural identity, relationship issues, and LGBTQ+ experiences, with a deep commitment to creating a space where every client feels seen, respected, and empowered.

Deborah is a relational psychotherapist who works with individuals and couples in an attuned and compassionate manner. She is especially interested in helping people to heal from anxiety, depression, and grief; to recover from trauma (recent or long ago); to navigate complex relationships, ADHD, or the numerous challenges and transitions at all stages of life. She has specialized training in EMDR for trauma and mindfulness approaches for anxiety and depression.

Prior to becoming a therapist, Deborah practiced as a family law attorney, working with those struggling with family dissolution, domestic violence, and emotional strain. She also has worked in education, in the theater as an actor and director, and as a journalist for ABC News. In addition, Deborah is the mother of four “young adult” children. Deborah sees each of these professional and personal paths as having intertwined throughout her life, ultimately enabling her to become the therapist she is today. Whether her clients are facing difficult transitions, trying to reconnect with themselves, or struggling with relationships or stress, Deborah integrates various treatment modalities to help them navigate their challenges, develop clarity and move towards greater happiness. It is Deborah’s belief that therapy at its best helps people to look at the stories they carry so that they can lighten their load.

Deborah received her Master’s in Mental Health and Wellness Counseling from New York University (NYU). She obtained her BA with high honors from Harvard University and her JD with honors from the University of Pennsylvania School of Law.

My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space for my clients to feel empowered and accepted. Through a collaborative approach, we may work together to support your needs and explore the ways you can cultivate positive change in your life. Working closely with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, or interpersonal issues, I offer personalized support to help navigate these challenges. Drawing from this experience, let's collaborate to explore your concerns, develop coping strategies, and foster resilience.

  My approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral (DBT), as well as Psychodynamic therapy. However, I pull from many modalities to provide personalized care for each unique individual. My educational background includes an M.A. in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University and a B.A. in Psychology from the University of South Carolina.

Muriel believes in the multifaceted nature of each client’s journey and provides a warm, safe and trusting environment, where clients feel valued as well as heard. She will walk with you as you explore emotions and life challenges that are impacting your sense of well-being. Muriel is aware that clients enter into therapy with many unrealized strengths and your sessions with her, she will provide the space that allows for the discovery of these strengths and tailor interventions to assist each client, couple or family, with enhancing their lives, relationships and overall experiences they desire to improve.

With a foundation in Psychodynamic, Cognitive and Mindfulness Theories, Muriel’s approach is integrative and framed within a multicultural context. She draws from evidenced-based practices and interventions that best fit each client’s needs and the goals they wish to achieve. She’s dedicated to building a trusting therapeutic relationship and will work collaboratively with clients as they learn new skills, strategies and methods of coping. In addition, clients will realize a new sense of well-being and gain the empowerment that will allow them to navigate life’s challenges optimistically, meet their goals and flourish.

I believe that building a trusting, collaborative relationship is at the heart of healing. My goal is to help you feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout your therapeutic journey. If stress, perfectionism, daily life stressors, or trying to please others is hindering your daily life, you are not alone. I specialize in working with individuals who are struggling with panic, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, relationship stressors, and the emotional aftermath of difficult life experiences.

In our first few sessions, we begin to get to know one another, understand what you might currently be struggling with and the origins of those struggles. Once we have built a foundation, we can then begin incorporating coping skills and utilizing therapeutic interventions tailored to you as an individual.

Therapy with me is collaborative and compassionate, free of judgment and focused on helping you to feel calmer, more connected with others, and in control of your life. If you're ready to begin your journey toward healing, I’m here to help.

I take an integrative, client-centered approach to therapy, tailoring treatment to each individual’s unique needs, experiences, and goals. My work draws from a range of evidence-based modalities, including humanistic, psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and trauma-informed approaches.
I believe that many of the patterns, coping strategies, and protective mechanisms we develop early in life serve an important purpose, helping us navigate difficult experiences and environments. As adults, however, some of these same patterns may no longer support the life we want to live. Together, we work to understand these longstanding dynamics with curiosity and compassion, while creating space for new ways of relating to ourselves and others.

My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and curious. I strive to create an affirming, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore challenges and vulnerabilities. At the same time, I believe growth often requires honest reflection and, when appropriate, gentle challenge. I also value the role of humor in the therapeutic process and find that it can be a powerful tool for building connection, fostering perspective, and supporting healing.

I work with adults, couples, and adolescents, with a particular focus on supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community. My goal is to help clients deepen self-understanding, strengthen relationships, and make meaningful, lasting changes aligned with their values.

I am a fully licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York State and a board-certified National Certified Counselor (NCC). I am also currently pursuing certification as a sex therapist through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT).
