Hi, I’m Dana. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Associate (LMFTA), and for over 30 years, I’ve served as a pastor—walking with people through some of the most meaningful, joyful, and challenging moments of their lives. My own spirituality is deeply important to me, but I never impose it on others; I honor and respect the beliefs, values, and perspectives each person brings into the room.

A Compassionate, Collaborative Approach to Growth

I believe healing happens within relationships—whether with others or within ourselves. I work from a systems-oriented, attachment-based framework, recognizing that each person is shaped by the connections and contexts they move through in life.

My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based methods. I partner with individuals, couples, and families to co-create a safe and supportive space where patterns can be explored, emotions understood, and meaningful change can take root.

My Approach

I draw from several modalities to meet the unique needs of each client or couple:

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) – to help couples and individuals access and express deeper emotional needs, building secure bonds and repairing disconnection.

• Solution-Focused Therapy – to identify strengths and move toward actionable, present-focused solutions.

• The Gottman Method – to support couples in improving communication, managing conflict, and building lasting intimacy based on decades of research.

Every session is guided by the belief that change is possible, and that each client holds inherent worth and capacity for healing.
