I am so glad you reached out for help! I am passionate about helping people navigate life's difficulties with compassion and empathy. Oftentimes, it is our difficulties that are the catalyst for big change. I bring over 30 years of counseling experience in a variety of settings (Residential treatment, Intensive outpatient, EAP and private practice) but most enjoy connecting in individual sessions. I look forward to working with you and assisting you with living your best life.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Anxiety, Depression, Life's transitions, Women's issues, Relationship challenges are my specialties.
I love working with adults who are motivated for change. My clients are eager to improve, but may feel feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious.

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.

Dawn was very easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable from the beginning. She listened without judgement, was warm and understanding, and helped me feel heard. I appreciate her thoughtful approach and look forward to continuing our sessions.

I really liked my first session with Dawn. She was easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable sharing my issues. She validated my feelings which made me feel not alone in how I am feeling. She was forthcoming in suggesting some solutions.
