My name is Deb.  I am a Mn Licensed Individual, Marriage and Family Therapist. 
I am a seasoned experienced therapist, who has been doing therapy for 30 years! 
 I work with folks on relationship issues,  communication, conflict resolution, infidelity and trust issues. 
Personal growth in the way of self-esteem, self-confidence,  self-doubt and self-value.  
Many types of career and work related issues.  
I provide therapy to folks with mild to severe mental health issues such as: Depression, Anxiety, Seasonal Affective Disorder, Bipolar, Schizophrenia and all  Personality Disorders.  Also a lot of experience with Chemical Dependency.  
If requested by client, I can provide Christian based counseling.  But only if you request it.
