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, 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.
