Hi, I am Dana. I believe in you and your ability to navigate difficult times in your life and to resolve old traumas, hurts and disappointments that cloud the quality of your life. I have a passion to support you in your personal and professional growth. In this present time, one does not need to be mentally ill to seek therapy. Therapy creates a sacred space in our lives to address, deal with, process thoughts and feelings while learning new healthy coping skills. My job is to help you find what works for you and meets your needs. I believe in self-determination. No one knows your life and your relationships better than you.

Everyone needs help at one time or another, whether it be for symptoms of anxiety or depression due to family/work etc., or you find yourself in constant survival mode, doing your best to keep your head above water. You are looking for more emotional balance and tools to increase your resilience. I do everything possible to provide a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space in which you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and patterns of behavior. Our therapeutic success depends on the strength of the trust and the bond between us and how we work together toward your goals.

As a therapist, I am dedicated to assisting you in this process by providing the safety to look inward without judgment or expectation but with a sense of curiosity, understanding, and self-compassion. My approach is to join you on your journey and support you in accessing your inner strength, building purpose, hope, and the quality of your life that you deserve. Whatever it is you seek on this journey my hope is to support you in working through the difficulties and support you in reaching your highest potential and building your optimal sense of self.

“Tell me what you fear and I will tell you what has happened to you.” - D.W. Winnicott. A guiding principle of my therapy is linking the suffering of today to the root of why it is so painful. My interest and expertise has focused on: 1) Perinatal Mental Health (pregnancy, loss, infertility, and postpartum), 2) Couples Work (particularly grappling with issues of monogamy), and 3) Long-term Individual Psychotherapy (struggles with relationships, creativity, and being in touch with your true self). I believe in being Good Enough rather than striving to be the perfect (partner, parent, person).

We all have moments of feeling isolated and “stuck.” This can stem from the difference between what your life looks like now and how you would like it to be. The stress of this disconnection can seep into all aspects of your world: socially withdrawing or getting into more arguments can lead to depression and relationship conflict. You might feel like what you do is never “good enough,” increasing anxiety. You might hide your stress by focusing on what you can control, particularly after traumatic events. Therapy can help bring back joy and spontaneity into your life, helping you feel more fulfilled and energized.

Hello and sending you a warm welcome! Making the decision to seek support takes an abundance of strength and can be immensely empowering. We all possess a blend of values, identities, dreams, thoughts, fears, and experiences; together, we will partner in creating an individualized plan for meaningful change and growth in alignment with your cultural identities, goals, and values. Life, stress, relationships, transitions, grief/loss, and everything in between can be challenging and wear us down. I would be honored to support you through all the things.
