Hi, my name is Dawn; I am an independently licensed therapist (LCPC). I have a history of supporting individuals with many different mental health needs. I primarily work with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety and trauma/PTSD to gain the skills and self-acceptance they desire to achieve their goals. By gaining skills and acceptance of yourself, you will be able to live the life you desire. I believe that everyone is a unique individual, so I approach therapy with an open mind and no judgement on your past or present experiences. I support clients in learning skills through therapeutic interventions like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and didactical behavioral therapy (DBT) while being trauma informed. I became a therapist because I saw the growth individuals gained when they could express concerns to someone who was non-judgmental and accepting of them. I have always been drawn to helping and supporting others. I gain fulfillment out of seeing others succeed and achieve what they want out of life. I look forward to being working with you soon!
