Adult Psychotherapy
Individual Psychotherapy
We all have a tendency to prioritize the needs of others, often sidelining our own emotional well-being. This natural inclination can lead to burnout, stress, and a diminished sense of self-worth. Instead of focusing solely on external responsibilities, it’s essential to cultivate a nurturing relationship with yourself.
Self-compassion is not selfish; it's an essential part of maintaining a healthy mental state. By allowing yourself the same kindness and understanding you offer to others, you create a solid foundation for your own happiness and resilience. Together, we can explore ways to establish boundaries, set realistic expectations, and embrace self-care practices that honor your needs.
As your advocate, I can guide you through this transformative journey, equipping you with the tools to recognize your own worth and prioritize your mental and emotional health. You deserve the same attention and love you readily give to those around you. Let's begin this journey of self-discovery and empowerment together.
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy offers a valuable space for partners to explore their emotions, improve communication, and address conflicts in a constructive manner. By working with a skilled therapist, couples can gain insight into their relationship dynamics, fostering understanding and empathy. This process not only helps to resolve immediate issues but also equips couples with the tools to navigate future challenges together, leading to a stronger and more resilient partnership. Ultimately, investing in couples therapy can enhance intimacy, restore trust, and promote a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.

Dr. Dawn’s Approach to Psychotherapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach that focuses on the interconnectedness of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By identifying and challenging maladaptive thought patterns, patients can develop healthier ways of thinking that lead to improved emotional regulation and resilience. CBT emphasizes skills training, enabling individuals to apply strategies in real-life situations. This practical framework not only fosters self-awareness but also equips patients with tools to manage future challenges more effectively.
Strengths-based, trauma-informed therapy complements the CBT framework by focusing on the inherent strengths and resources of each individual. This modality recognizes that trauma can impact a person's worldview and coping mechanisms. By creating a safe and supportive environment, therapists are able to foster empowerment and resilience, guiding patients to build upon their existing strengths. This holistic approach encourages individuals to view themselves as capable agents of change, facilitating an adaptive recovery process that honors their unique experiences and promotes lasting transformation.
