About Dawn

I’m a therapist who believes that healing happens in relationship. I’ve been there: stuck, overwhelmed, longing for something firmer within me. My early life as a Gen‑X military brat living across the world gave me a natural curiosity about people and longing for connection. After trying on many hats—bookstore manager, tech recruiter, stay at home parent—I finally stumbled into therapy to untangle my own generational trauma. That journey led me to become a counselor, driven to support others in finding authenticity and comfort in their lives.

What I Believe

• Connection matters. You don’t have to go through this alone.

• Your identity is valid. I work with neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, and ethically non-monogamous people—your experiences shape your story and strength.

• Safety first. Healing begins with your nervous system—no pushing, no reliving trauma before you’re ready.

• Curiosity is powerful. We’ll explore what your body, parts of self, and emotions have to tell you.

• Your story matters. You get to be the author of your path.

How I Work

My counseling blends:

• Somatic grounding & mindfulness to help you settle

• Parts-oriented work & EMDR to gently access and heal stuck beliefs

• Creative, experiential tools to connect to self beyond words

All at your pace. I’ll be with you, holding space as you learn to regulate, set boundaries, and reclaim your authentic self.

A Bit About Me

• Trained in EMDR, trauma‑focused therapy, parts work, and neuro‑informed approaches

• Experienced with CPTSD, dissociative states, burnout, relational trauma

• Avid reader, road-trip singer, retreat facilitator, and total dog-and-cat snuggler

• Committed to ongoing anti-oppression work, mindful of power, privilege, and personal growth

Your Next Step

You’ve already taken a brave step just by being here. If you’re wondering…

• Am I too much? Too sensitive? Too broken?

• Can therapy feel different—more human, more hopeful?

…you’re not alone. What matters is kindness and safety, one grounded step at a time.
