Dawn is an amazing therapist. I have been with her about a year and she has helped me reframe thoughts that I misconstrued about myself and helped me begin to heal and strive. I have finally found a therapist that listens and I can actually trust. To me, this is one of the most important things for me in therapy and I am eternally grateful to have found Dawn. Healing can happen with the right therapist and Dawn is definitely on that list!
