Hi, I’m Dawn.
After nearly 20 yrs as a premarital counselor and over a decade as a career transition coach, I wanted a way to reach the couples I came across who were struggling, and often had been for a long time, and who, for all sorts of reasons, felt traditional counseling or therapy might not be a great fit.
So I created what I would want.
The safe, inclusive, warm but direct space of good counseling, with the solutions-oriented tools from the world of habit research to give you clarity and a plan forward- quickly. I love what I do- it’s an honor to hold space with you. Looking forward to hearing your story.
You’re Here for a Reason. And We Are So Glad You Found Us.
“To think of where me and my wife were just a few months ago to today. I couldn’t imagine the difference being this drastic. Dawn has helped us so much that we went in for couples counseling and now we’re working on life goals our “couples” problems have seemed to disappear. It takes work from my wife and I for sure but to be so heard and understood by someone is incredible.”

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Chakaboy V.
Fremont, CA
“Dawn is an amazing counselor. She is empathetic, kind, sincere, inclusive, professional and oh-so-helpful. She is exactly what you'd want while working with your partner. There's a reason why she is so well-reviewed and well-regarded by anyone that comes into contact with her.”

Jennifer Y.
Culver City, CA
“What I can say is that Dawn has lent us indispensable insight on how to navigate the hard days of a relationship—whether it be current or in the future. We can’t recommend her enough—it’s hard to see us embarking on this journey without going through some semblance of the exercises that Dawn has us run through in our sessions. I’m personally eternally grateful to Dawn for helping me understand what my partner needs better and for helping my partner do the same. Therapy, counseling, etc. can feel a little daunting or awkward to start at times but Dawn’s empathic demeanor and energy can make a lot of the unease in letting a stranger into your relationship completely dissipate.”

Dawn is also a Certified Somatic Breathwork Facilitator.
Learn how mindfulness, grounding, and proven stress-reducing practices can be built in to your sessions, or schedule a stand-alone virtual breathwork session with Dawn.
Breathwork works with your body to bring greater calm, and can help with emotional release and processing trauma.
There are many styles of breathwork— some used to regulate your breath in a way that can quickly bring more grounding and ease, and others that can help bypass your thoughts and bring you to release emotions and even process trauma. Dawn can help you understand the methods and physiology, share some simple practices you can do on your own, and gently guide you in some breathwork together. Schedule a time for a complimentary consultation to learn more or schedule a full virtual one-on-one breathwork session with Dawn today.
