Hi, I am Dana. I believe in you and your ability to navigate difficult times in your life and to resolve old traumas, hurts and disappointments that cloud the quality of your life. I have a passion to support you in your personal and professional growth. In this present time, one does not need to be mentally ill to seek therapy. Therapy creates a sacred space in our lives to address, deal with, process thoughts and feelings while learning new healthy coping skills. My job is to help you find what works for you and meets your needs. I believe in self-determination. No one knows your life and your relationships better than you.

As a therapist, its my job to assist you in living an authentic life, with contentment and happiness, assisting you in alleviating suffering. I was born and raised in a rural community, dropped out of high school. I specialize in neurodivergence, ADHD, and women's issues.

Its my life's work, and I am happy to be available to you during your growth process. I am certified in CBT through the Beck Institute and TX DSHS. I also hold a certification in meditation and mindfulness. I am a tribally enrolled American Indian who appreciates diversity. I welcome all faiths, all nationalities here in this healing space.

In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
