“Dawn has been so supportive and understanding. She was able to put my feelings into words and I felt very validated. She has watched me grow over the last year and I am forever grateful for her knowledge and experience.”

“Dawn is a great therapist, I’m so thankful for her wholistic approach and understanding of how multiple factors can interact behind the scenes to impact your mental health.”

“Dawn is an excellent counselor —inquisitive, kind, and empathetic.”

“Super nice, and encouraging. Gives great advice and always just a message away if I'm having a really bad day or week! Progress is slow but seems so easy to just talk to her for the whole hour which is big because I'm never comfortable talking to people thanks to social anxiety. Definitely recommend!”

“Dawn is responsive and supportive. I absolutely love working with her on my journey!!”

“Dawn is a stellar therapist. She has taken me through a remarkably difficult time and helped me grow into a better person. I’m so thankful for her help and know she will play an important part in my life for some time to come”

“Dawn is an amazing therapist - compassionate, caring and skilled. Knows when to push and when to console. Really appreciate her help -”

“I love how open I can be with Dr. Dawn. I haven't felt so safe and "heard" in a long time.”

“Dawn is a kind and patient listener, she never makes me feel judged or rushed. She helped me find the direction I was looking for and ferret out my core issues. Her questions helped me find insight into the heart of my confusion and anxiety. I would recommend 10/10 to anyone struggling to make a major life decision.”
