Hi! I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in Illinois and Virginia with over 15 years of experience working in the field of social services. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, sleep issues, Nightmares, Military/ Combat related issues, childhood abuse, Sexual Assault and ADHD. I also helped many people who experience feelings of emptiness, isolation and grief and loss.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Dawn is such a kind and empathetic therapist. She has always let me lead the way while simultaneously pushing me to consider ways in which what I'm doing might not be in my best interest. I've grown so much with her as a therapist and I strongly urge anyone reading this to consider working with her.
Dawn is a great therapist she listens and asks open ended questions that help you to think about how to make your situation better.
