About Dawn

Life is a collaboration — you do not have to do it all alone.

Loss, life changes, trauma, and social constraints can affect us in unexpected and unsettling ways. Navigating these challenges requires a safe, compassionate space where issues can be faced head-on with empathy as a guide. That is why I am here.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate who works with people facing neurodivergence, gender affirmation, and anxiety. My passion to help others as they feel and become their most authentic selves is what drives me — whether that means forging a new life path, adjusting to current circumstances, or revisiting and processing old wounds.

Utilizing integrated techniques, we will create a unique plan according to your individualized needs and work together to create healing, understanding, and empowerment. I am currently holding telehealth and limited in-person sessions.
