At the start of 2022 I realized that through BetterHelp I could finally reach my goal to work private practice full - time. Through my career, I have primarily worked with adults in various settings, but the past 5 years dedicated it to teenagers in the criminal justice system. I have Hospice experience which is where I gained my passion for grief and loss as well as dealing with phase of life changes. This hit home to me hard the past 4 years as I watched and cared for my mother who battled Ovarian Cancer. She passed away November 2019 and I took a step back from my private practice work and just focused on my healing as well as my work at the Juvenile Center. In August of 2020, I started back up with private practice and did this with BetterHelp. Once 2022 hit, I was ready to transition from working with teens in the juvenile justice system and the parents of juvenile delinquency, to taking a step with BetterHelp full time. I have experience with inpatient psychiatric care, crisis intervention, hospice, and chronic medical illness, as well as a wide range of mental health and relationship issues. I have a passion for helping people find peace of mind and strength to work on the challenges that they are facing.

Very thoughtful and compassionate. Whenever you are feeling overwhelmed by life experiences, she will do her best to bring you down to center. And you always leave feeling much better than what you did walking into the appointment.

Dayna is great therapist and because of her ability to listen and challenge me to work hard and believe that I can make changes to better myself , I have felt strongly to recommend Better Help to many people. The platform is great. The video talks, the texting within the app and also the audio with her reading articles is so nice. Its worked great to be able to do this all online. Dayna is personable, kind ,funny, very knowledgeable and patient but definitely keeps me working and holds me accountable. I feel this is very important. She doesn’t give me answers but encourages me to figure it out with her guidance. She is great with getting me resources for the many questions I have. She is a gem!

Dayna is a great counselor! She is very consistent, dependable, and extremely supportive. I am thankful to have had her support throughout 2021 as I faced many major life-changes, difficult workplace relationships, and anxiety and depression. She has taught me to use journaling, meditation, and everyday mindfulness to challenge negative thoughts and find something good about each day. I could not be more appreciative of the attention and support she has given me over the past year. Thank you, Dayna!
