What clients are saying
Truly a light in the darkness!
I found Dawn at one of the darkest times of my life and she definitely helped me save myself. She is the only therapist I've ever felt comfortable enough with to fully open up. She listens to understand and she truly cares. She is kind and compassionate, yet awesome enough to push you in the right direction. I can't imagine where I would be if I hadn't have found her. If you're feeling lost and alone, reach out to Dawn. You will thank yourself that you did.

As a young mom coming out of an abusive relationship 12 years ago I met Dawn. She was a student then. She changed my life. My favorite Dawn quote is you don't go all the way home because of a flat tire. You stop, change it and keep going. Now I live all the way in Ohio and my daughter is Dawn's patient. She is the most compassionate, insightful person I have ever known in my 35 years and now she is changing my daughter's life. If you are ready to get better, she is who you want.

Dawn has a open, direct, conversational approach to counseling that immediately put me at ease. My life was unraveling, as bad as it could possibly get, and she gave me hope. She related to me personally, not clinically, providing a "safe" place in which to talk about some very painful things. Her insight and her ability to point out destructive patterns, and how to break those cycles has turned my life around.

So many couples struggle behind closed doors in their marriages and don't want to ask for help. Dawn helped me through my divorce. She is not your "typical" counselor! She is...cool. Non-judgy. Comfortable. I am a better wife now because of her! So if you need some marriage maintenance, or you need help getting through/past a divorce (or any traumatic event), I hightly recommend her.

Deciding to open up to someone and share your deepest, scariest thoughts is not an easy thing to do. Within minutes of meeting Dawn, I knew that I had come to the right person who could help me at a time when I was not sure what to do. Dawn is not just a wonderful listener. She is very skilled and compassionate. She draws information out in a way that made getting started in therapy very comfortable which I didn’t think was possible for me. She has keen insight and has helped me see patterns of thought that have not been beneficial for my health. Working with Dawn has helped me see more clearly how to navigate deep grief that comes from losing loved ones and also losing a bit of myself. I feel like I’m on a healing path now because Dawn has helped me have hope when I wasn’t sure there that hope was possible.

I will be forever grateful we found Dawn just weeks after our daughter was stillborn. Dawn has a naturally comforting presence that makes her so easy to open up to. Not only does she have the education and professional experience but she is also incredibly approachable and warm. Our sessions felt more like I was sitting down with a (very wise) friend than meeting with a professional. Dawn provided my husband and I with practical tools and advice that helped us get through our darkest days. I don't know where we would be without her.
