She also enjoys incorporating art, Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and DBT into her work with teens and provides trauma informed care for adults. Deanna understands that every client is unique, so she draws from a wide range of therapeutic modalities to meet each person’s individual needs.

She especially enjoys working with first responders and mentoring new therapists. Deanna is also the author of the book Meeting My Therapist, written to help normalize therapy for families.
