My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

In my practice, I frequently incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns that contribute to emotional distress and behavioral challenges. I use CBT techniques to collaboratively develop, concrete, goal-oriented strategies that empower clients to challenge negative beliefs, build coping skills, and foster lasting change.

I am so happy with the progress I’ve made with Dawn in such a short time. She helped me gain clarity in a long-term relationship and other areas of my life. Through talk therapy, I’ve found the confidence to honor my feelings and give myself the space to heal. Dawn also shared tools with me to help improve my communication skills, especially in listening and making others feel heard. I always feel comfortable with her, and her sessions are a safe space to open up about anything on my mind.

Dawn is truly amazing! From our very first session, I felt completely at ease, allowing me to openly discuss my journey back into therapy after all these years. Almost immediately, I recognized her open-mindedness and dedication to finding solutions and helping me set goals! I’ve already made meaningful changes in my life that have me feeling so much better. If you’re looking for someone to guide you through talk therapy, I highly recommend Dawn. You won’t regret it!
