Dana has over 30 years of clinical experience facilitating emotional healing transformation in a vast diversity of populations, including couples and marital dynamics, crisis intervention, substance abuse, eating disorders, family systems and children and adolescents, often incorporating eclectic treatment modalities (CBT, DBT, EMDR, Person-centered, object relations, analytical, and Jungian). Client testimonials frequently express appreciation for her warm, grounded approachability and efficacious, nurturing interventions. From her Clinical Director and Lead Therapist positions, Dana maintains a humanistic Supervisory Leader-to-entry level perspective toward folks obtaining mastery of their unique individual agency healing, growing, sharing consciousness clarity and well-being.
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.
Clients report that Dana stands out and shines via her unique compassionate active listening and client-growth validation. With ease, Dana meets folks "where they are" as she establishes and nurtures an overall genuine relationship between herself and her clients so that clients report an experience of a sense of belonging and hope.
I work with individuals and couples of all backgrounds who are facing relationship challenges, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, substance abuse and recovery, Borderline Personality Disorder, bipolar disorder, family conflict, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions. I welcome married and unmarried couples, LGBTQ+ clients, and those seeking greater self-understanding, emotional healing, stronger relationships, and lasting personal growth. My approach is warm, compassionate, and insight-oriented, combining emotional support with practical tools to help clients navigate life's challenges and create meaningful change.

Dana is amazing. We have lot in common which makes it verry easy to be myself and open up to the issues I'm needing help navigating. She is verry personable and kneadable and I am looking forward to digging into my issues with tools to help me with the process of healing.

Dana is so effective at helping me to understand who I am deep inside and how I can be the happiest, healthiest, and most successful version of myself. I am so pleased I began working with her last year and that I can continue to benefit from her knowledge, experience, and wisdom.
