Great to Meet You!

Hi, I'm Dawn. I primarily work with female clients across different stages of life, including teen girls, college students and young adult women, and women navigating anxiety, trauma, stress, burnout, life transitions, relationship concerns, or simply not feeling like themselves.

Your feelings and experiences matter, and therapy can be a supportive space to gently process your story and build emotional resilience. You may be managing school, work, relationships, family, or everyday responsibilities while quietly feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or unsure of what you need.

In our work together, we can slow things down, explore what's beneath the surface, recognize emotional patterns, reconnect with your values and strengths, and develop practical ways to support your well-being. You don't need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. We'll begin with where you are and work toward what matters to you.

Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. We'll look at what's happening in your life, the patterns you've developed, what may already be helping, and what you would like to feel different. My approach is warm, individualized, trauma-informed, and whole-person, with attention to both emotional experiences and how stress may show up in the body.

Depending on your needs, our work may include understanding and reframing thought patterns, building on your existing strengths, finding practical solutions, developing mindfulness and nervous-system regulation skills, and using somatic practices to increase awareness of the mind-body connection.

As a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional, I can also help you consider how sleep, movement, nutrition, stress, relationships, and everyday habits may be influencing your emotional well-being. You don't have to change everything at once; sometimes beginning with one area can create a meaningful shift.

For clients who would like faith to be part of therapy, Christian-informed care can incorporate your values, Scripture, prayer, or spiritual reflection in a way that feels comfortable and meaningful to you.

In our first session, we'll complete an initial assessment and take time to understand what brings you to therapy, what you've been experiencing, and what you'd like support with during this season of your life. I'll ask thoughtful questions to better understand your needs while giving you space to share at your own pace.

We'll also discuss an initial diagnosis and treatment goal, what working together may look like, and any questions you have. Just as importantly, we'll begin getting to know each other so you can get a sense of whether you feel comfortable, supported, and that we're a good fit for moving forward.
