Hi there, I'm Dawniel!
I’m an LMFT, with 20 years of experience specializing in EMDR for trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, drawing on CBT, DBT, and mindfulness to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered toward lasting change.
My focus
I work primarily with adults navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationship struggles, and major life transitions. I'm especially passionate about trauma work through EMDR, helping clients process painful experiences that keep resurfacing in daily life. I'm most comfortable with clients ready to do deep, meaningful work.
My approach
My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you and never one-size-fits-all. I draw primarily on EMDR to resolve past trauma, alongside CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based techniques, grounded in an attachment-informed, strengths-focused lens. Together we build a plan that honors your whole story, not just the problem that brought you in.
