About Ethel
I believe the therapeutic relationship is the key to unlocking the door, no matter what issues lie behind that door. Without a strong foundation of trust, respect, and communication–the 3 pillars upon which any relationship is built–progress cannot be made. This is where we begin. My clients view me as empathic, empowering, and trustworthy–ideals I foster through open communication. I have a unique ability to meet people where they are so that I am able to guide them on their journey toward wellness. My goal is to help you move through your problems toward effective solutions.

What clients say
- “I felt comfortable talking to her about almost anything within the first session or two. I can't remember for certain, but either session 1 or 2, we were discussing my involvement in the local kink community, my poly relationship situations, and even certain specifics about activities. I never felt judgement or anything other than an enthusiastic "Yes! Let's talk about that!" with stuff that's so sensitive and personal. I honestly didn't expect to feel this comfortable with a therapist at ALL, much less in a couple of sessions.”
- “Dawn is fabulous”
- “Dawn gives me the space I need to express myself freely. I can tell her anything and she holds what I say with care and compassion - no judgement.”
