About Dana

I am a lifelong learner and am always in the process of growth and discovery. Before becoming a therapist, I supported couples through childbirth and the postpartum adjustment for 15 years. As a doula, I trained under Pam England to support healing from birth trauma. Working with these clients helped me realize my passion for emotional transformation and started me on my journey to becoming a therapist. This is my life's calling.

​

I view myself as a guide to support your healing journey. While I incorporate a variety of modalities and techniques in my work, at the core I am depth oriented and seek to increase conscious awareness of the inner life, no matter what problems bring you into therapy.

​

I am inclusive, affirming, and committed to cultural humility. I see clients in person in Los Angeles and via telehealth throughout California.​
