Dawne is the perfect therapist for me. Nothing is off limits to discuss. She encourages me. She seems to know my issues before I know them, but somehow gets me to recognize them on my own.

Dawne is a fantastic therapist who has helped me with tools and mindsets to navigate my addiction, depression, and anxiety, which has provided me a sense of control. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a cognitive-behavioral mindset, changing your mindset to how you react to mental triggers that would otherwise prohibit you from living a whole and productive life.

Dawnes support and guidance has been invaluable to me in my life and career this year. I know that I would not have achieved what I have been able to, without Dawne this year. I feel seen, supported, heard and her practical suggestions have aided me greatly in my journey this year.
Thank you Dawne

I absolutely love talking to Dawne! I feel like I can talk to her about anything that is bothering me, there is nothing I wouldn't share with her - and I've not felt like that with other counselors before! I also love that Dawne gives the option for video call.
