Interestingly, those in my circle, both professional and personal, would not have seen how conflicted and unauthentic I was. In fact, I spent a significant percentage of my emotional energy ensuring I was as close to perfect as possible, and when I wasn’t, I was so internally broken. I suffered the loss of both parents, and as a therapist, I knew this was an opportunity for unimaginable growth. I will forever be grateful for the powers of the universe to bring me to Dawn’s website. We have worked together for a year and completed the Daring Way curriculum…ok, the 13 sessions took 21, but who is counting! The skills I learned, realizations I made and light I found (in me!) has been transformational. I can sing Dawn’s praises for days, but, her spirit will be to redirect the successes to me. After 41 years, I can accept the praise and acknowledge my worth authentically, and simultaneously thank her from the depths of my heart. It’s rare to be able to recommend any professional without any hesitation, but I certainly can with
Dawn. In fact, I have referred several, including one highly skeptical, guarded, completely analytical physician who historically would have never accepted such a recommendation. After two sessions, he fully engaged and started a healing process he deserved. Another referral was a therapist colleague of mine. She and I refer to Dawn as a Jedi. That is telling. As a therapist trained in New York City by those who have literally written the books behavioral health practitioners live by, I can say my yearlong work with Dawn has taught me more about myself (and the therapeutic process) then I have ever imagined. I am blessed to have a secondary benefit of having Dawn model what I truly believe an remarkable therapist should be – she is precisely intuitive, incredibly knowledgeable and eternally supportive of her client’s desire to mitigate the symptoms that presented them to therapy. Coupling Dawn with the Daring Way curriculum has been nothing less than transformational. Just be brave and start the process. ~TD

"Dawn is excellent! It is obvious she took great care in choosing the group participants to ensure we were able to get the most out of the training. I highly recommend working with Dawn and taking the Daring Way course again and again."
"Doing the Daring Way work with Dawn has helped me identify my core values and how to live by them. If I could, I would recommend (and I have to many people already!) you and the Daring Way workshop to just about everyone. Through your services individually and as a group, I've learned to understand my feelings, where they come from, how to handle them properly through better ways of communication with others and living more of a whole hearted balanced life. The most important thing people should know about working with Dawn is it works! It's a great balance of identifying feelings, where they stem from and guidance to self discovery on how to effectively work through them and communicate them with those involved. In layman's terms, you provide none of the bullshit that I've received with other therapists, actual guidance to self discovery and clear direction on ways to handle situations effectively; you're a straight shooter and not afraid to call anyone out." ~LP
"Dawn is amazing!"
"Dawn did a fantastic job leading the group and nurturing each person through the process by creating a safe and supportive space."

"Dawn is an incredibly intuitive, compassionate, and down to earth teacher and therapist. She naturally connects with everyone she meets and helps you feel at ease. She has a
passion for service and a caring, open heart which has a very comforting, healing influence. Dawn’s innate ability to sense when to challenge you and when to give you a gentle nudge is refreshing. Whether it’s getting in touch with your true self, designing an in home yoga program, or taking one of her Daring Way classes (as she is a Certified Daring Way Facilitator), Dawn is a true life teacher and guide, who combines her rich understanding of the body-mind connection, family issues, and many paths of healing to take you where you want to be, to live a fulfilling, authentic and joyful life which she will tell you, you deserve. I highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking to change or grow." ~PW "Dawn is warm, caring, spiritual and straight-forward. She supports you when you're struggling and guides you to tools that help you both examine your ways of being in the world and align them to your core values. I would strongly recommend Dawn to women who may feel stuck in one or more areas of their lives, and who are interested in changing that. Through my work with Dawn and the Daring Way I have made some very large, positive life changes. It's amazing how starting to look at one area of your life can lead to changes in so many areas!
So it's hard to separate out the DW curriculum from all that Dawn does in session. Words can't totally express how grateful I am for the care Dawn has given me." ~LB |
