Hi! Welcome to BetterHelp! I want to thank you for viewing my profile and for making the courageous decision to talk to a professional for support during, what I can imagine, must be a difficult time in your life. Choosing the right therapist can seem like an overwhelming process when there are so many incredible and very qualified professionals on this site; however, making sure that you find the right fit for you and your situation can be one of the most important decisions at the beginning of your journey. So, to help make this decision a bit easier for you, I want to introduce myself and explain a little bit about what you can expect if you choose me to help you along the way!
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Clinical Professional Counselor, and Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor currently living in Las Vegas, Nevada with over 15 years of experience working as a therapist, counselor, life coach, caseworker, mentor, and intern supervisor. I have worked in many different settings throughout the course of my education and career, from inpatient behavioral health settings to forensics settings with court-ordered clients, long-term care facilities, private practice, and more. During this time, I have had the privilege of helping a variety of people identify core issues, develop healthy coping skills, and heal from deep wounds they once never believed possible.
Something I like my clients to know is that you are in the driver’s seat! This is your life and your treatment. You know yourself better than anyone else. You know what has been helpful in the past and what has been unhelpful. We will spend time getting to know you. We can then build upon that knowledge to develop a personally tailored treatment plan to address the issues that you determine to be a priority in your life.
I plan on assisting you with compassion, empathy, and directness to help you meet your personal goals. I am a very client-centered therapist, so if you would like me to apply a specific treatment method or technique, please let me know, otherwise, I tend to use an eclectic mix. I typically apply a great deal of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) throughout our time together, which can be very helpful if we notice that some underlying sources of your identified issues may stem from thinking errors. I also have experience with DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), including emotional regulation skills, communication techniques, grounding skills, and mindfulness which can be very helpful in improving interpersonal relationships and emotional regulation.
Ultimately, what you can expect from working with me is a safe, compassionate, and supportive space for you to work through whatever you want help with.
I’m really looking forward to meeting you!

Dawn has been understanding of my issues and is helping me to tackle them. I have a hard time opening up to others and with Dawn I feel more relaxed and able to talk about things that are difficult for me to deal with in general. She understands how my conditions affect my day to day thinking and is helping me to find ways to overcome these hurdles.

Spending time unpacking the things with someone so compassionate, caring, and full of brilliant insight and ideas for me try has been the greatest thing. I feel empowered and heard when I share with Dawn Marie and I feel like they understand what it is I can’t seem to communicate to and with others. Dawn Marie totally helps me take apart the things in such a way that makes me excited to try the new ways to engage and interact with all the things and people in my life leaving behind the previous versions while honing the good parts of me. Thank you so much, Dawn for helping me understand my self more, it feels so good to be feeling better about myself and life.

Dawn was a perfect match for me. She is extremely professional yet down to earth and relatable. I feel very safe talking to her and never feel like I am being judged. She is incredibly responsive and my theme with her has succeeded my expectations.
