Hi there, I'm Dana!

During uncertain times, mental health support is more valuable than ever. I want to help you find empowering practices to navigate through your life. A bit of support, having a safe space to process feelings, is invaluable. I am a retired Indigenous ceremonial leader. I have been in direct practice for over 8 years.

My focus

I enjoy working with people over the age of 18, of all races, sizes, and religions. I do not work in the area of polyamory, those dynamics are out of my scope of treatment.

My approach

An eclectic approach utilizing many theories rooted in CBT, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, by Beck. CBT helps identify thinking patterns, or "constructions," that stand in the way of resolving our feelings or outstanding issues. issue. Support for formulating boundaries and how to effectively communicate boundaries.
