I am licensed therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion and clarity. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, transitional life phases and grief. My goals is to create a safe, non judgmental space where the client can explore their feelings, gain insight, and develop strategies for change. Together we work toward a greater self-understanding, healthier relationships, and a life that aligns with your values, goals, and to be a better version of yourself.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

The first session would include any questions they may have, review forms, and to discuss their goals for therapy. I also like to discuss my approach, and what has worked in the past to reach their goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have worked with a variety of populations and in different settings, the one thing that has always helped, is humor. Life can be challenging at times and the one thing we do have control over is how we respond and handle situations. I meet with each client and listen to their story, hear who they are as individuals. I support them, and challenge them.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My goal in working with a client is to challenge them to make the changes they desire, and to support them with meeting their goals.

Having a female therapist is vital to me. Dawn has been a therapist for awhile and that is important as well. I felt an immediate connection with her. Felt very comfortable!!
