About Dana
Dana adapts sessions to match each person's needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches to notice patterns and try small behavior changes. Dialectical behavior strategies and solution-focused techniques are also part of her toolkit when they fit the client's goals.
Over 13 years of practice, Dana has helped people manage persistent worry, rebuild confidence, and handle difficult relationship moments. She pays attention to issues tied to abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, caregiver stress, codependency, and the stress of medical challenges like cancer.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. Dana aims to break big problems into manageable steps and practices that can be used between meetings. She keeps language plain and concentrates on skills people can try right away.
If someone is ready to begin, Dana asks them to share what matters most and what they hope to change. From there she and the client create a straightforward plan with measurable next steps.
