For Dr. DeBoer, health psychology is more than a profession—it’s a calling rooted in one guiding question: What helps people living with chronic illness truly feel better— physically and mentally—and how can a psychologist support that journey toward healing and resilience?

That question has shaped her 12+ year career working with adults managing complex health challenges, including chronic pain, fibromyalgia, insomnia, women's health, and obesity. As a Board-Certified Clinical Health Psychologist, Dr. DeBoer combines clinical expertise with genuine compassion, helping clients not only manage their health but also rediscover purpose, balance, and vitality.

Dr. DeBoer’s path began at Virginia Tech, where she studied psychology and nutrition and developed a deep interest in how the mind and body influence one another. She went on to earn her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Regent University and completed a two-year Health Psychology fellowship at Brooke Army Medical Center, specializing in behavioral health interventions for women’s health, rheumatic conditions, and providing presurgical evaluations for bariatric surgery.

Drawing from her extensive experience in both individual and group therapy, Dr. DeBoer takes an integrative, evidence-based approach tailored to each client’s unique needs. Her therapeutic methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), medical hypnosis, mindfulness, and relaxation training—techniques proven to reduce stress, improve coping, and support lasting behavior change.

At the heart of Dr. DeBoer’s work is the belief that healing goes beyond symptom management. It’s about helping people feel whole again—physically, emotionally, and mentally. Whether you’re coping with a new diagnosis, living with a long-term condition, or feeling overwhelmed by your health journey, Dr. DeBoer offers a compassionate, collaborative space to heal, grow, and move forward with confidence.
