I have deep empathy and hope as I've been through anxiety, depression, chronic stress and personal loss.
I am accepting new clients and have specialized in overwhelm, stress, and anxiety since 2018. If you feel stuck and want to get "unstuck," you're not alone. My clients, both men and women, often feel overwhelmed and seek more joy, energy, and inner peace. You might feel like you are in survival mode, nearing burnout, and not your best self. If you need help but don’t want to delve into your past as with traditional therapy, life coaching could be the answer where we identify goals, create strategies, use practical tools, and implement healthy habits using the science of habit formation and positive psychology to help you thrive.

My areas of clinical focus are helping people manage anxiety and stress, as well as coping with grief and loss, navigating life transitions, and building healthy communication skills.
Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or sad? Perhaps you are grieving a loss. Maybe you are going through something really difficult. Therapy is a way to learn to cope better, discover new skills, improve your relationships and communication, and change your thinking or behaviors. It is also helpful in processing grief after experiencing a loss in your life.

I treat teenagers and adults facing a variety of stressors including anxiety, depression, self-harm, body image issues, post-partum mothers, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, college students, individuals experiencing stress in their relationships, and substance use.
Currently accepting new clients! It would be infinitely helpful if we were all handed a roadmap to help us navigate our journey through life — the unexpected bumps and curves it can throw at us. Even the moments of joy! But for many of us, we often feel lost, confused, or rudderless. Taking the step to reach out for support can feel daunting, or even nerve wracking. But, to have a copilot along the way to help you make sense of the direction you’re traveling in, or validation to start completely fresh, helps alleviate some of that burden.

Many children need help dealing with school stress such as homework, test anxiety, bullying, or peer pressure.
I see clients of all ages with a variety of needs, my current practice is approximately 50/50 with adults and children who are struggling with anxiety, issues of adjustment, general emotional discomfort, and children with behavioral concerns. In my practice with children, I work closely with parents. I work to develop a comfortable rapport focusing on strengths and supports available to your child. I begin the process by meeting with both parents so that I may learn about your child through your eyes and better understand how the concerns are impacting your child.

At Dana LICSW, I offer individual and couples therapy to people looking for support with relationship building, stress management, adjustment to transitions, and help coping with anxiety.
Do you want a strong, healthy, trusting relationship with your partner? Are you in the midst of a challenging life change or transition? Do you want to feel confident and at ease in your daily life? It can be overwhelming to sort through the problems of daily life without support and unbiased reflection. Trying to do and solve everything on your own can lead to burnout, physical issues, and constant stress and worry. I believe having consistent professional support lays the foundation for solid relationships and a strong sense of purpose.

I specialize in working with adults to address challenges with anxiety, work-related stress, trauma/PTSD, grief, and life transitions.
If you are here, it’s likely because you are in some state of struggle. Perhaps you are considering therapy for the first time and you are uncertain what to expect. Or maybe you are returning to therapy with a different purpose or goal. In either case, it’s not uncommon to feel overwhelmed, uncomfortable, stuck or even defeated. However distressing your struggle may be, I suspect there is also a sense of hope… a feeling or wish that things could be better. That is where our work begins.

Helping clients manage their stress, anxiety, and sleep is one of my favorite parts' of my job.
Does your mind immediately start racing when your head hits the pillow at night? Do you find yourself waking up in the middle of the night and being unable to get back to sleep? It's pretty miserable, isn't it? A lack of sleep can impact not only our physical health but our emotions as well. There are ways we can improve this and I'm passionate about helping you figure out how.

I am a holistic trauma informed therapist and although I use various modalities, I always include work on helping people not only understand their situation intellectually, but also address how trauma and stress is held in the body and what can be done to help process that.
So much of the stress we feel in life can come from relationships and situations that do not make sense to us. Perhaps you have a sense that “something is just not right” in those dynamics, but you cannot figure out what it is. You may notice that you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, distracted and depressed, and you feel at a loss for how to change that. My passion is working with folks who are wanting to shift those confusing dynamics and heal from the negative impact of them.
