Dawn is very attentive and compassionate. She listens and she offers practical advice and meaningful/logical solutions that help me understand my emotional struggles better. She is also very knowledgeable about my faith and has helped me navigate my life in that aspect better in a very short time.

Dawn is down to earth and offered me a lot of support through what felt like a crisis. She’s given me tools to use to help improve my daily routine and positive habits.

Dawn is such a kind and empathetic therapist. She has always let me lead the way while simultaneously pushing me to consider ways in which what I'm doing might not be in my best interest. I've grown so much with her as a therapist and I strongly urge anyone reading this to consider working with her.
