This is my second review for Dawn and I could write them daily. No puffery. I am so grateful she has come into my life, and I pause to think about where I would be without her support and guidance this past year. We have been working together for about five months and what I am discovering is Dawn not only helped pull me out of the dark hole I was in when I first came to her; but she continues to assist me months later as I manifest the best version of me. I am beyond grateful for that. As time goes on and she gets to know me better she seamlessly tailors our discussions to fit my personality and needs and does it with such compassion and grace. I guess what I am saying is, therapy with Dawn ages like fine wine. It truly gets better with time. I definitely recommend her, 10/10!! -G

Hello,
My name is Dawn and I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor, and a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor for about 8 years now. I have worked with clients in day treatment programs, as well as outpatient programs, with a wide variety of concerns including substance use disorder, depression, bi-polar, anxiety and panic, struggles with self esteem, borderline personality disorder, as well as other mood disorders.
My counseling style is person centered, with a focus of building a strong rapport. I have a warm personality that encourages a balance of acceptance and change. I will walk alongside of you all of the way of your therapeutic journey, and help you meet your desired goals. My approach is derived from the use of CBT, REBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing, and tailored to fit your personal needs as there are many paths to healing.
It takes time to heal, it takes work to heal, but it takes you to make the first step. You will not have to walk alone, you deserve that.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Dawn is the best. She is so easy to talk to and makes you feel heard and seen. I am always very comfortable talking with her.
Dawn is great - really easy to talk to. I felt like she really listened to me and helped guide me in a safe direction. Highly recommend!!!
Dawn is great at listening and asking great questions. She doesn’t pressure you on what to talk and is overall a great counselor.
Dawn has been a light in a moment of darkness for me. I am just a few short weeks into my sessions with her and I am feeling my natural energy and confidence coming back already. That has a lot to do with her guidance. I am excited to continue on my journey with her help. ❤️
