MEET DEB
Deb has almost two decades of experience as a coach and group facilitator. Her life work is to partner with others to discover their unique life paths. In her words, the more closely we align ourselves with our ‘true’ path, the more joy, purpose and fulfillment we feel.
​
Deb's own life path has led her to experience a variety of cultures from South Korea to Costa Rica and many European countries as well as US communities from California and Texas to Florida and Maine and many in between. This along with her experiences in both the civilian and military communities have helped her to understand firsthand the many aspects of human experience and growth that make us more similar than different.
Since her certification as a Life Coach in 2005, Deb has expanded her individual coaching and group facilitation to incorporate two powerful paths to human growth: Applied Positive Psychology and Mind-Body Skills.
In 2017, Deb completed her Certification in Applied Positive Psychology at the Flourishing Center in NYC. Based on the Wellness Model, Positive Psychology assists individuals in attaining increased levels of resilience, happiness and well-being.
Having completed the advanced training at the Center for Mind-Body Medicine in 2018, Deb also integrates Mind-Body Skills into her individual coaching and groups. Originally created as an intervention for communities suffering from trauma, Mind-Body Skills groups have proven highly effective in reducing a wide spectrum of suffering from mild anxiety to PTSD.
​
By blending her training and experience in Life Coaching, Applied Positive Psychology and Mind-Body Skills, Deb has created Discovery Groups, a small group format that brings together the benefits of all three practices.
