About Dale
She begins by helping a person identify where life feels out of control. Then she looks at the factors that keep those patterns going. Together with the client she defines realistic goals and creates step-by-step strategies to move toward them.
Dale has worked with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, grief, trauma and abuse, and addictions. She also supports people facing career strain, anger, relationship stress, and major life changes. Her background includes attention to attachment and control issues, midlife concerns, and challenges that come with aging.
Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods. She uses client-centered conversations to hear what matters to each person. Cognitive behavioral techniques help spot and shift unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness and acceptance practices are used to reduce reactivity and build steady coping skills.
Sessions aim to be practical and goal-focused. Dale helps people build skills they can use between visits. The work is collaborative – she and the client decide which strategies fit best. This approach makes it easier to keep progress moving when life gets busy.
