I have been seeing Dawn for about a year and she has helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life. I am making progress on things that have been holding me back and I am grateful for her help. I highly recommend Dawn as a therapist.

I really feel like Dawn brought a sense of openness and a genuine caring attitude. She has great listening skills and she shines by opening new portholes to see out of. I feel encouraged by her gentle but insightful support to be wiling to look at who I am with more courage.
