My treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I’ve been using DBT in my practice for the past five years. It’s helped many clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use DBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
Eclectic
I’ve found that using an eclectic method can be an effective and adaptive way to create a more personalized and impactful therapy experience. I’m trained in multiple evidence-based approaches such as motivational interviewing, DBT, CBT and EMDR.
EMDR
I have recently been trained in EMDR and believe it can be very useful and supportive with trauma. EMDR aims to facilitate the brain's natural healing process by reprocessing traumatic memories so they are stored in a less distressing way. The bilateral stimulation is believed to enhance communication between the brain's hemispheres, aiding in the integration of traumatic memories.

I really appreciate working with Dawniel. She is very supportive and I believe with her guidance I am making progress. Today I was very overwhelmed and talking to Dawniel helped me feel more grounded and feel more positive towards myself. I am grateful for this time to work through childhood issues that have been holding me back from being genuine and authentic about who I am.

I think that she got a decent concept of who I am and what I need in therapy pretty quickly. Seems fairly easy to talk to.
