More about Dana

- LPC-MHSP
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging experiences. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, addiction, and mood disorders. My approach is grounded in compassion and a deep commitment to understanding each person's unique journey.
I specialize in helping clients work through posttraumatic stress, attachment issues, panic disorder, social anxiety, and self-harm. As a retired a Paramedic with 20 years experience I also have experience supporting first responders, military veterans, and survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. Whether you're exploring life purpose, or healing from trauma, I'm here to walk alongside you with care and expertise.
My therapeutic style is collaborative and person-centered. I believe healing happens when you feel truly heard and supported—without judgment. I draw on evidence-based practices to help you build resilience, process difficult emotions, and move toward meaningful change at your own pace.
I am here to help guide you through your journey to become a better version of yourself. Martin Luther King once said, “You don’t have to see the whole staircase to take the first step.” Let’s take that first step together and continue on the path to finding the “you” you want to be.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
