Many people who work with me have been in therapy before and left feeling unseen, unheard, or just... unimpressed. That’s not what happens here. 

I don’t hide behind therapy language or dismiss your pain as if there is something wrong with you. It’s more about what happened to you.

This will be a place where nothing is off limits, shocking or shameful. Your experiences, your relationships, your pain, your life matters and you deserve someone who will call it out, help charter through and untangle parts of life and guide you to where want to be.

Simply surviving is not sustainable. You are here because you know this. I am here because I want to help.

I look so forward to seeing you,

Dawn
