About Dawn

I am a cisgender woman and white european-descendant who is passionate about personal growth and is actively working on decolonizing my mind. Core values of mine that impact my work include connection, authenticity, and curiosity.

I am part of GenX and grew up a military brat who lived in several European countries. I earned my undergraduate degree in history because of my desire to understand how things fit together and impact each other. It took me awhile to figure out “what I wanted to be when I grow up” so I have spent time in retail management of bookstores, as a human resources recruiter, and as a stay at home parent. Once I started doing my personal therapy a lot changed for me, including releasing the barriers I had put on myself. This brought a lot of freedom, and I actually went back to school to become a counselor myself! I have always had a strong curiosity about why people are who they are and a connection to those who are focused on personal growth. I believe my role as a counselor is to support people in living their authentic life.

When I'm not geeking out about neurobiology, I can be found snuggling with my pets (2 cats & a dog), traveling with family (mountains and pine trees!), facilitating spiritual retreats, singing loudly in the car (i.e. Depeche Mode, K.Flay, yacht rock), binge watching British detective shows, or reading the latest Brandon Sanderson book.
