I would like to guide you in identifying tools to help you cope with everyday life stressors. If you are finding it difficult to navigate through life’s challenges, then I am here to support you.

First session

In our first session, we will begin to build a rapport. I will learn about what brings you to therapy and we will develop a treatment plan together.

Self-care, healthy exercise and diet are encouraged for a well balanced life.

Having used Dawn's services for sometime, the approach and methods she utilizes for treatment make sense while bringing a level of comfort. In being comfortable during sessions, the issues requiring discussion are more easily talked about in order for a resolution to be found.
