Dana is a great person to have on your team. I'm thankful to have been matched with her. Dana listens, is extremely knowledgeable, and is great at reading between the lines to get to the heart of what's going on with you. She's direct, but also compassionate, which is a great match for me. I've found her very helpful.

After just one session with Dana, I knew she was going to be a great fit for me. She validates my feelings while also encouraging me to examine other perspectives. She likes to make sure I get the most out of my sessions. If I don't think a worksheet or exercise is helpful we move on and try something new! I always appreciate the way she can pick out details from our conversations that I hadn't considered before. Therapy with her doesn't feel like a chore or a lecture. Our talks make me excited about the person I am working towards becoming. Thank you for being so wonderful Dana :)
