Signing up for Better Help and being paired with Dawn has been an absolute blessing. As a woman in her 40’s dealing with the complexities of life, I really needed the extra support to navigate some very difficult situations. She does an exceptional job listening and offering insight when needed to work through tough feelings. My conversations with Dawn feel relaxed and I always feel seen and supported in my most vulnerable moments. This has been a great experience and I would highly recommend signing up today!

I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. With experience working with adults across diverse backgrounds, I specialize in helping people navigate depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, and concerns around self-esteem.
My approach is grounded in empathy and respect for each person's unique story. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. I draw on evidence-based therapeutic practices to support meaningful insight and lasting change.
I'm committed to culturally responsive care and honor the identities and experiences you bring to our work together. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or seeking support during a difficult season of life, I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion and genuine care.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to be part of your healing journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
