Accepting NEW Clients & Sliding Scale! Hi, I’m Dana. I work with youth 10+, adults, couples, and families who are having a tough time. I can help with presentations such as ADHD and Autism, Agoraphobia, Anxiety, Body Image, Boundaries, BPD, Depression, Domestic Violence Recovery, Gender Identity and Sexuality, Insomnia, Narcissistic Abuse, Panic Attacks, (c)PTSD and Trauma, Relationship Issues, Stress, Self-harm, Suicidality, and Women's Health. My approach is integrative, Trauma-Informed, Gender and Neurodivergent Affirming, Culturally Sensitive, and Body Positive. No judgement, just you and me being our authentic selves.
I use an interdisciplinary approach, meaning that I do my best to get a holistic view of who you are including family relationships, cultural context, diet and nutrition, medication, physical wellness, religion and spirituality, sleep, social influences, and hormonal health.
I lead my practice with honesty, transparency, genuineness, trust, empathy, and compassion. I want to make you feel heard, understood, supported, and safe. You know yourself best, so you tell me where to go and I will follow you there. If you are curious or have questions, visit my website, send me an email, or call me!

Therapy should not feel like a one-size-fits-all or a cookie-cutter treatment. I offer a personalized and collaborative approach prioritizing what's most important to you and provide you choices on what can help. Usually we balance learning coping skills to help in the moment and exploring deeper into the root causes of what is going on behind the scenes.

The science says the treatment that works the best is the one that makes the most sense to you. My job then is to understand different evidence-based theories and perspectives of the problem, and help you come up with a cohesive understanding of what's going on. We can then use interventions, skills, and tools that make sense and work for you.
