Are you feeling lost or stuck in your personal or professional life? Do you feel like you're not living up to your full potential? Dawn believes that true healing comes from a holistic approach that addresses the mind, body, and spirit. Her ideal client is someone who is ready to make a change in their life, but isn't sure where to start. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, but they're also interested in exploring the deeper spiritual aspects of their being.

People come to therapy with strengths and skills that have helped them to survive up until meeting me, and I find that it is often better to work with existing tools rather than tearing down entire foundations. As a clinician, I can help you to decide what stays, what goes, what skills should be emphasized, and what skills should be learned. I have supported others to solve relationship problems, establish effective coping systems, with adjusting to difficult life experiences and spaces. We are both experts in the room and I will use my understandings of integrative practices to help build the dream that you imagine for yourself.

First, let’s take a breath and acknowledge how incredibly insightful you are for seeking therapy in the first place! At first sight, therapy on its surface appears to be daunting, and it usually demands a lot of effort from the person seeking therapy, but alas, the commitment to therapy is well worth it, because you are worth it. We owe it to ourselves to be just as invested in our mental and physical self-care, as we are in our professional lives and interpersonal relationships. Whatever the issues, big or small, I am here to tell you, that you do not have to traverse this journey alone!

Are you suffering from the end of a relationship? A job? Do you feel like you are in crisis, or no longer feel like yourself? Maybe you’re realizing that your life as it is in this moment is not working for you. Perhaps you feel alone, lost, or at a loss for what to do. Congratulations on taking the first step to finding relief and taking control. Life is too short to surrender to bad relationships, hold grudges, let trauma control us, or to be anxious or angry all the time. You may feel stuck, but there is hope.

Wellness has been defined as a way of life oriented toward optimal health and well-being in which body, mind, and spirit are integrated to live more fully within the human and natural community. Ideally, it is the optimum state of health and well-being that each individual is capable of achieving. When working together in counseling, I perceive one’s thoughts are related to their feelings and reactions to events, not the events themselves. Counseling sessions are individualized to meet the unique needs of each client.

Life’s challenges may cause us to react and respond in many different ways. Our current situation may or may not be in our immediate control, but when we look at our life, long-term, it will be the decisions that we make today that set the course of the overall outcome. Experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, confusion, and frustration (to name a few) may be a part of that journey, but you do not have to go down that road alone. It's important to have a safe and confidential space to work through challenges, become more resilient, and come out on the other side with confidence and skills to manage the situations you face.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by your responsibilities to others? Do you feel like you are on "automatic," frustrated with not living the life you once wanted for yourself? Such a lonely place! I can help you move towards healing & transformation. I am here to witness the development of your unique & authentic voice as you create the life you want. Within the framework of a strengths-based & hope-focused perspective, I equip individuals & couples, at any stage of commitment, with strategies to create & maintain healthy relationships now & in the future. Change is possible! Find the life you have dreamed of living! It's within you.

My name is Edica Gonzalez, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My approach is client-centered; together, we determine the best intervention to support this journey.

As an agency we have been supporting people via online sessions, with everything that falls “outside the box”. If you are encountering relationship problems, you may have found that it is easier to procrastinate rather than to seek the relationship advice and tools that you need. You may have even been waiting to seek consulting or coaching services for years. Meanwhile your relationship difficulties have only been getting worse. Our consulting services are designed to help you communicate better and make sustainable changes that will benefit you and your family throughout your lives to come back to loving one another.
