Hi, I'm Debbie Pawell,


Professional Counselor

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭1‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I believe that God can play an integral role in the emotional healing process.  When we draw upon Him for our strength, we can cope with struggles in life more effectively. It is my desire to help children, teens, and adults overcome and heal from obstacles and challenges in their lives.  I strive to help promote personal growth and help clients find hope and joy again. I enjoy building relationships with people by demonstrating grace, compassion, and encouragement while walking alongside them through difficult issues to help move them toward peace and emotional health. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Limited Licensed Psychologist with over 20 years of experience and would love to help guide you on the path of healing and hope.
