I've only spoken with Dawn during a couple of sessions but I feel very comfortable with her already. She is such an excellent listener. However, she also interjects comments & questions that assure me she is fully present & involved. I feel that Dawn us a genuinely warm, caring person. It is also evident that she is professional and I can rely on her to guide these sessions towards something productive for me.

- LMFT
As a licensed therapist in California, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on helping clients develop self-love, overcome isolation, and discover their life purpose. With a decade of experience, I focus on addressing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and personal growth.
I understand the unique struggles of managing life transitions, building self-esteem, and healing from past experiences. My therapeutic practice is rooted in compassionate, personalized care that honors each individual's journey. Whether you're wrestling with eating disorders, relationship dynamics, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.
My work is particularly attuned to the experiences of older adults, and I bring a liberal, culturally responsive perspective to our therapeutic relationship. As a Black woman therapist, I strive to create a welcoming space where you can explore your challenges, practice forgiveness, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation.

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.
