Dana is an insightful practitioner with the ability to make clients feel unconditionally supported, fully seen, and heard. She lives what she teaches, which brings a deep authenticity to her practice. You would be lucky to work with her!
I enthusiastically recommend Dana to anyone seeking therapeutic support or professional collaboration. Her approach to therapy is both compassionate and insightful, creating a space where clients feel genuinely heard and supported. Dana is deeply committed to sharing effective, practical tools, both in her work with clients and in her collaborations with the professional community.
I cannot recommend Dana enough as a mental health therapist. Her compassion, professionalism, and dedication to her clients are truly incredible. She creates such a safe and nonjudgmental space, making it easy to open up and work through even the toughest challenges. What sets her apart is how practical and effective her guidance is. Even after all these years, I still use the tools and strategies she shared with me—they continue to make a meaningful impact on my life. Her ability to empower her clients and foster lasting growth is truly remarkable. If you’re looking for a therapist who genuinely cares and will help you make real, lasting changes, I highly recommend scheduling a session!
Their care for themselves and this field is so visible in how they speak and treat others. She is so fully committed to growth and healing, and this makes her so valuable as a colleague and a clinician.
Dana helped me so so much in processing the wild cloud of feelings and difficulties that come from navigating trans health mental/body changes. They are so kind and patient, and hold space with such diligence and care. I don't think I've ever felt more listened to and understood than when I worked through my feelings with Dana. Can highly recommend for trans/genderqueer people especially.
Dana provides life-changing care and brings a loving heart to her work. I can't recommend her enough. If you need help, she'll help you. If you need to vent she'll listen. Going to her for counseling will be one of the best decisions you can make.
I highly recommend Dana as a therapist and human. She brings a wealth of experience and skill to her practice, drawing deeply from her engaged mindfulness approach. Dana’s compassion, joy, and presence are truly remarkable—they shine through in every interaction. She has an incredible gift for deeply listening and reflecting back insights that are always helpful, and sometimes even transformative. I feel so fortunate to know her and to witness her thoughtful, heart-centered work.
