Background and approach
Dawn has worked in recovery settings, victims' services, and with dual-diagnosis concerns. She has also taught psychology at local colleges, which shapes the way she explains coping skills and treatment options. Her experience includes helping people reduce shame and rebuild self-worth.
Sessions are practical and focused on real change. She helps people sort through feelings, improve communication, and create plans that fit daily life. Dawn encourages small steps that add up to lasting changes.
Outside of work she enjoys camping, crafting, Native American drumming and singing, rock hounding, house plants, travel, and playing music with friends. She brings that grounded curiosity into the therapy room, helping people find more moments of joy and meaning.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following your lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection, helping you set goals and decide what to work on. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, communication problems, and building self-love.Trauma-Focused Therapy targets the effects of past harm. It breaks down how traumatic events affect thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and teaches skills to manage symptoms and stay grounded. This approach helps when trauma or abuse is interfering with daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest a path that fits. Changes are paced to match what feels manageable, and the plan can be adjusted as work progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling more accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and stepwise work easier to fit into a busy day. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family, and travel.
