Hello, I'm Dana

I believe healing begins when you feel truly seen, heard, and accepted. Life has a way of bringing unexpected challenges stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, relationship struggles, the chaos of the world, and major life transitions can all leave us feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from ourselves. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can begin to heal, rediscover your strengths, and move toward the life you want to live.

Each of us experiences the world through our own unique lens, shaped by our relationships, experiences, and beliefs. Some of those experiences build resilience and confidence, while others leave us carrying shame, fear, or self-doubt. I enjoy helping clients recognize these patterns, shift the negative narratives that no longer serve them, and strengthen the parts of themselves that foster hope, empowerment, and lasting growth.

​

My approach to therapy is rooted in person-centered care. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you with compassion, authenticity, and without judgment. My clients often describe me as down-to-earth, approachable, and genuine. Together, we'll create a treatment plan tailored specifically to your goals, your experiences, and your pace.

​

Over the past 12 years, I've had the privilege of working with individuals, couples, and families navigating a wide variety of concerns. While I enjoy helping people through many different challenges, I have a special passion for working with trauma (including PTSD and complex trauma), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), mood disorders, and relationship concerns. I also enjoy working with diverse relationship structures, including polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous (ENM) relationships, and strive to provide an affirming, sex-positive space for all clients.

​

I am an EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor (LCMHCS), and have advanced training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold standard treatment for OCD, as well as Gottman Method Levels I & II for couples counseling. Depending on your needs, I may incorporate approaches such as EMDR, ERP, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Somatic Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Trauma-Focused interventions. Every treatment plan is individualized because no two healing journeys are the same.

​

Creating an inclusive environment is deeply important to me. I proudly provide an affirming space for members of the LGBTQIA+ community and welcome people of all identities, backgrounds, and life experiences. My office is a place where you can show up exactly as you are, knowing you'll be met with respect, compassion, and acceptance.

Seeking therapy is a courageous first step, and finding the right therapist matters. If you're wondering whether we'd be a good fit, I'd love to connect. I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation so we can talk about your goals, answer any questions, and explore how we can work together on your journey toward healing.
