Offering effective holistic perspectives to optimize your quality of life and relationships. I offer Internal Family Systems (IFS) which helps to ameliorate the origins of discomfort within. I help you to identify outdated thinking patterns that lead to confusion, unmet needs, and emotional reactions projected onto others. My approach offers a map and an insightful way to relate to yourself and others which can result in feeling lighter and calmer by freeing up a significant amount of mental and emotional energy previously spent trying to figure it all out and then feeling depleted.

I believe the cornerstone to therapy is empathetic understanding paired with proactive behavioral change. Together we will create a secure place in which you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a non-judgmental way in order to understand what they are trying to provide to you. By reframing our cognitive, somatic, and behavioral actions in this way, we can learn to make sense of even the largest, scariest life experiences. With that new understanding, we will then discuss and practice applicable techniques you can utilize outside of therapy to achieve your goals in a meaningful, healthier way.

Hi there, I am Dana Rivera (she/her) and I created Willow and Womb Wellness after nearly a decade of silently navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, postpartum and identity shifts. This journey was deeply personal and, for a long time, private. Fear, grief, and the pressure to appear “okay” kept me silent. I often felt isolated in a world that seemed to effortlessly grow and thrive families while I quietly struggled. It wasn’t until I sought the support of my own therapist that I began to feel a shift - a realization that my professional calling was expanding to encompass a broader vision.
