LMHC, 20 years of experience
Welcome to my page. My name is Dawn and I I provide virtual therapy for individuals and couples seeking balance, relief from anxiety, and healing from past experiences. Using CBT, DBT, and the Gottman Method, I help clients strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and build healthier, more fulfilling lives. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on creating meaningful change.
Our session with be to meet and go over your experiences that have led you to seek out counseling. I work with people who want to feel calmer, more balanced, and less weighed down by stress, anxiety, or painful experiences from the past. So many of us carry worries or old patterns that get in the way of feeling present and connected — both with ourselves and with the people we care about. My goal is to offer a safe, supportive space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin finding new ways forward.
In our sessions, I often use tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you manage big emotions, quiet anxious thoughts, and practice healthier coping skills in your daily life. When working with couples, I use the Gottman Method to help partners communicate better, strengthen their bond, and rebuild trust when it’s been shaken. At the heart of my approach is compassion and collaboration. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you — it’s about walking alongside you as you discover your strengths, heal from what’s been holding you back, and create more peace in your life and relationships.
Above all, I believe therapy is about more than “fixing problems” — it’s about helping you uncover your strengths, create healthier patterns, and move toward the life and relationships you deserve. I’ll meet you where you are, without judgment, and walk alongside you as you work toward balance and healing.
CBT is used to address the negative thinking that yields to negative emotions and behaviors. By addressing the self-talk and cognitive distortions we have more positive thinkning, emotions and behaviors.
