Reaching out for support takes courage—and it’s the first step toward real change. I work with teens, adults, and LGBTQ+ individuals who are navigating life’s challenges, whether it’s anxiety, depression, identity exploration, relationship struggles, trauma, or major transitions. My goal is to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to be yourself. I approach therapy as a collaborative process, grounded in trust and respect. You are the expert on your life—I’m here to walk alongside you, help you make sense of your experiences, and support you in building the tools and insights you need to move forward.

I tailor my approach to fit your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based practices while staying deeply attuned to who you are as a whole person. Together, we’ll explore what’s not working, identify your strengths, and move toward meaningful change at your pace. I aim to help you gain insight, develop practical tools, and reconnect with your sense of self.

You deserve support that affirms who you are and where you are right now. Let’s take that next step together. You don’t have to go through this alone. Therapy is not just about coping—it’s about growing. I’m here to walk with you..

Dawn Burns provides services with supervision.
