Working with Dawn has truly changed my life. From the very first session, she created a space where I felt completely safe, seen, and understood… Something I hadn’t experienced in a very long time. Her empathy runs deep, and her ability to listen without judgment has helped me find strength in my story, clarity in my emotions, and hope in my healing process. Dawn doesn’t just guide you through therapy; she walks beside you with compassion, insight, and genuine care. She has an incredible gift for helping you see beyond the pain and into your own potential. Because of her support, I’ve learned to set boundaries, release guilt, and reconnect with who I truly am. I’m endlessly grateful for her kindness, patience, and dedication. Dawn is the kind of therapist who doesn’t just help you cope, she helps you transform. I can honestly say she’s made a lasting impact on my life, and I would recommend her to anyone who’s ready to heal and grow.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
