Hi there, I'm Dion!

I focus on individuals and couples dealing with everyday struggles of life. I strive to create a warm and collaborative approach to meet your unique needs.

My focus

I work with teens through older adults and couples. Common concerns include anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, relationship issues, and trauma. My goal is to help you develop skills to navigate and overcome the challenges you face.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is eclectic to meet various client needs. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy to help you develop skills for navigating life's challenges.

My communication style

I offer a comfortable, supportive environment that allows you to be your genuine self. With a conversational approach, I spend time getting to know you, listening patiently and attentively to your concerns to determine the best path forward.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to pursue therapy after working in corporate settings where people naturally felt comfortable sharing with me. I discovered I could connect with individuals others found difficult to reach. My gifts include patience and explaining complex situations in accessible language.

My goals for you

We work together to determine the best path forward. We spend time exploring your background and core issues to set appropriate and achievable goals. As you progress, we continue collaborating to adjust your goals as needed.

Our first session

During our first session, we share about your background and what brings you to therapy now. I gather relevant information to develop a framework for treatment and begin understanding how I can best support you.
