Mental Health Services
Connect with a mental health therapist or mental health program
Our goal is to provide consultation and counseling services for survivors dealing with issues of trauma and domestic violence. Our focus involves counseling within a brief intervention framework (approximately 9 to 12 sessions).
Community referrals may be made for clients needing or requesting long-term therapy. We work with survivors in exploring new approaches to the issues they are dealing with and to heal the historical impacts of intimate partner violence being perpetrated onto them. This may include problem solving techniques, healthy decision making, cognitive and behavioral strategies for coping and managing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Mental Health Therapists
DAWN now has two therapists available. Services are offered both in-person and remotely.

Welcome
Many people think about physical healing, but don’t always recognize how essential emotional and psychological care truly are. I’m proud of you for showing up, for taking a risk, for being curious, and for allowing yourself to explore your emotional wellness journey. Having questions and uncertainties is completely understandable. I’m here to support you in a warm, caring, and nonjudgmental way as you move toward greater clarity and well‑being.
I am passionate about supporting individuals on their healing journey through trauma, including intimate partner violence, emotional abuse, racialized trauma, and chronic stress. As a minority woman and military veteran, I offer a compassionate, culturally responsive space that honors your lived experience and nurtures safety, stability, and self‑trust.
My Approach to Therapy
My therapeutic work is collaborative and tailored to your needs, drawing from EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, CBT, CPT, SFBT, mindfulness practices, and grounding techniques. Together, we can focus on reshaping unhelpful patterns, processing painful experiences safely, and building practical tools to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and the impacts of trauma.
What You Can Expect From Me
In our sessions, you are welcome to share at a pace that feels right for you. My priority is to create a space where you feel respected, supported, and truly heard as we work toward meaningful, sustainable healing.

I am so glad you are here. Whether this is your first time working with a professional counselor or you are seeking to change counselors, congratulate yourself—it is a big step to trust yourself and seek support. I applaud you for taking action to heal, discover, and invest in your own journey.
My approach to therapy is grounded in the understanding that we are all a collection of our experiences, but our experiences do not have to dictate how we live or who we will become. My style is eclectic, client centered, and open minded. I often draw from somatic therapy, narrative therapy, psychodynamic therapy, inner-child work, trauma-informed care, and motivational interviewing. I am here to partner with and support you on your journey to radical self-love, healing, growth, and more effective communication in your relationships. This journey will likely not always be easy, but if you put in the work, with my support, it can be deeply rewarding.
I hold a holistic philosophy of therapy. Mental health is one aspect of our overall health.
Many people think therapy is just something for crises—yes, therapy is great in times of crisis, but it can be so much more than that. We are all in different, ever-fluctuating stages in our lives, and those fluctuations can be negative or positive. Therapy can guide us through life’s difficult times and makes sure that we celebrate ourselves when things are going well. As we work to eliminate the stigma of working with a therapist/counselor, I encourage people to shift their perspective from “I have to go to therapy,” to “I get to go to therapy.” Therapy is a time when you get to focus on you, your growth, your goals, and your journey.
I worked in education for 15 years. For 8 of those years. I worked in Montessori school. After graduate school I worked in higher education at a few colleges and universities. I counseled students; led diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) initiatives; and worked in residence life.
