About
You've built a life that looks right from the outside. And yet...maybe you've been living according to a script you never actually chose - the right career, the right role, the right version of yourself for everyone else in the room. You're capable, driven, and deeply self-aware. You've done enough reading and therapy to know yourself pretty well, but something still isn't adding up. There's a gap between the life you're living and the life you sense is possible - and it's getting harder to ignore. That gap is exactly where our work begins. I'm Dana, and I work with high-functioning adults who are ready to stop performing their life and start designing it. My approach is insight-oriented: we go beneath the surface to understand what's really driving the patterns, the perfectionism, the anxiety, and the sense that something essential is being left unlived. I call this radical self-authorship. This work is for you if you're carrying the weight of perfectionism, fear-driven patterns, or the exhaustion of always holding it together for everyone else - and you're ready to put the weight down and build something different. My clients don't just want to cope better; they want to change their lives. If you're ready to close the gap, reach out! Specialties: Perfectionism & anxiety that cost you more than they're worth. Living someone else's version of your life. Career pivots, identity shifts & relationship restructuring. The exhausting pressure to always get it right. If you're ready to stop managing your life and start designing it — this is the work. Credentials & Experience: I hold advanced degrees in Social Work and Human Development. Licensed to practice in seven states. Over 20 years of clinical experience. I'm a lifelong learner and remain current on advances in the field of psychotherapy.
"My approach is primarily psychodynamic — we go beneath the surface to understand what's driving the patterns before trying to change them. I draw on IFS, narrative, and mindfulness where they serve you. Insight-oriented, collaborative, and unhurried. You are not broken. You have been adaptive. We build from there."

My practice is private pay, which allows our work together to unfold without insurance companies dictating the pace, focus, or depth of care. I provide Superbills for clients who wish to submit for out-of-network reimbursement - many clients recover a meaningful portion of fees this way.
