Dana is passionate about working with women and individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and complex trauma (big T and little t). She also has a strong interest in helping those recovering from narcissistic abuse, processing life transitions, and redefining their relationship with food, body image, and self-worth.

With a background in education, life coaching, and trauma-informed care, Dana integrates Brainspotting, the Four Blinks version of Flash, DBT, ACT, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) into her person-centered approach to therapy.

As a former teacher and military spouse, Dana understands adaptability, belonging, and the challenges of feeling like an outsider. She is a body-positive, fat therapist who embraces Health at Every Size (HAES) and actively challenges diet culture.

A survivor of emotional neglect and narcissistic abuse, Dana deeply empathizes with those navigating trauma, relationship struggles, and self-acceptance. She believes mental health challenges are part of the human experience and is committed to creating a non-judgmental, inclusive, affirming space for healing and growth.

Outside of therapy, she loves singing loudly, finds solace in gardening and daily walks, and sees all three as natural antidepressants.
