Super nice, and encouraging. Gives great advice and always just a message away if I'm having a really bad day or week! Progress is slow but seems so easy to just talk to her for the whole hour which is big because I'm never comfortable talking to people thanks to social anxiety. Definitely recommend!

I was very nervous to start therapy and had reservations on therapists. I was matched with Dawn and felt it may be a good fit, but nonetheless was still nervous. Just a few minutes into my first session, I knew she was the perfect match! Dawn is absolutely amazing and had no reservations when jumping into my rather stressful relationship situation at the time. She has guided me through very though conversations and made me feel like I have a strong support holding me up and allowing my voice to come through. I cannot say enough fabulous things about her! She carefully hears me out and helps me navigate, even shedding lights and helping me realize things I had never considered. I am genuinely grateful to have been working with her for the past few months and look forward to her continued help and guidance!
