A Brave Space For Healing & Growth
Reaching out for mental health support can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Whether you’re facing daily stress, a significant life transition, or a difficult personal challenge, therapy can provide the support and tools needed to move through life’s obstacles. My goal is to create a warm, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you can express yourself openly—whether that means talking, crying, sitting quietly, or simply being heard—as you work toward healing, growth, and renewed joy.

I'm Dana, a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate dedicated to creating a supportive space where genuine healing can unfold. I believe the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of meaningful change built on trust, transparency, and time. In our work together, I show up with authenticity and compassionate honesty, even when conversations are difficult.
My approach is grounded in existential and Adlerian theory, with a deep respect for how life’s unexpected moments shape who we are. I value structure and routine as anchors for growth, while also meeting you exactly where you are with care, presence, and respect for your lived experience.
I enjoy working with individuals of all ages and backgrounds. My areas of focus include grief and loss, self-esteem, parenting concerns, stress and burnout, anxiety, depression, adolescent challenges, and caregiver support.
It would be an honor to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges and move toward healing, growth, and renewed connection.
