My therapist, Dawn, is helping me put some recent trauma into context, and teaching me the difference between a snake and a rope. This opportunity came at a crucial time and I am grateful for the support.

More about Dawn
- 29 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I am a Licensed Mental Health in the State of Florida. I have been working as a counselor since 1994. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient settings and have helped my clients navigate the "rough waters" that they must travel through. I have worked with trauma, anxiety, depression, adolescent issues, and complex mental health issues. Growing up in a military family, I also have a fondness and appreciation for our military families and the unique challenges they face.
I recognize that each client has unique strengths and we will utilize these strengths to build a "boat" that can withstand those "rough waters" of life. I can bring my 20 years of experience as a counselor and as a team, we can take the skills we both have to make meaningful and lasting change. I believe in finding the right skill for each person.
Each individual is unique and I believe that by working together, we can develop a plan and implement that plan to find a place of peace. By working together, we can find the best tools to strengthen your "boat" and get through these "rough waters" of life.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
