I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Massachusetts, and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Connecticut. I have a background in the sciences (medical research), and changed careers 7 years ago, to help people on a more personal level. I use my knowledge of physical health to help people who struggle with chronic illness, and/or pain. I also have experience working with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, panic, social anxiety, and trauma.
In our first session together, I try to keep things as light as possible, while gathering information, and getting to know you. Please feel free to ask me any questions, and let me know how you are feeling.
Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy
My intention is to maintain a comfortable listening space, to understand your challenges, and to work together on a plan for moving forward. I feel that overall health, mindfulness, and improving sleep can play a large part in improving mental health. I also try to incorporate laughter into my work….laughter is good medicine!

In the few sessions I’ve had so far with Dana she has challenged me in different ways with different types of solutions that I would not have found in my own to work on myself. She is so easy to talk to and makes me feel comfortable to open up in a judgment free space which is exactly what I needed to start healing.

She specializes in chronic diseases and I recently got a diagnosis. She is warm and interactive, and welcoming. I feel I have a partner in my healing.
