Therapy for Sex, Money and Relationships
As both a clinical therapist and financial therapist, Debra helps individuals and couples successfully navigate the emotional drivers of compulsive spending, debting, and financial conflict, as well as the ways money and power dynamics are expressed in intimate relationships.
For many people, sexual or financial struggles are rooted in unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, or patterns that began long before the current relationship. Debra works with individuals and couples to address those underlying dynamics, not just the presenting behaviors. Her clients include people struggling with compulsive sexual behavior, pornography addiction, and love addiction, as well as partners and spouses rebuilding trust after betrayal.
Where Wall Street Meets the Therapy Room
After a career on Wall Street and the commodity trading floor, Debra earned her master’s in counseling psychology — bringing a rare depth of real-world experience into the therapy room. When struggles around sex or money take hold in a relationship the weight of the discovery is overwhelming. As a CSAT-S (Certified Sex Addiction Therapist-Supervisor) and financial therapist, Debra offers clinical expertise to treat relationship conflict, sex addiction and financial betrayal together. Whether you are struggling with compulsive sexual behavior, financial infidelity, or the complex ways money and intimacy conflict in your relationship, Debra provides expert, compassionate guidance and a depth of understanding from having navigated both worlds.
