About Dawn

I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals and families through life's most challenging moments. Throughout my career, I've worked with clients from 3 to 80 who are navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. I bring a compassionate, grounded approach to therapy, creating a safe space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. I'm particularly drawn to working with individuals and families struggling with mental health issues or family dynamics. My goal is to meet you where you are with genuine care and respect, helping you build insight and resilience as you move forward. I believe therapy works best when it's collaborative-where you feel heard, valued, and supported in your own healing journey. I help you set goals to help structure your sessions. I am honored to walk alongside you as you take this important step toward growth and wellness. Read more Show less
