"Working with Dawn was one of the best things I could have done for myself and my family. As a single mom to three young kids (one of who has multiple diagnoses included ADHD, DMDD, and ASD), when I first met with Dawn I was beaten down. For all my trying, all I could see were the multitude of failures I felt. From day one, she opened my eyes to all the positives I was creating for my children and myself. It was as if a veil was lifted and I could finally see clearly, having never even realized my perception was skewed. I’m an analogies person so let me put it this way: when I think of my mental and emotional state before I started working with Dawn I picture a person curled up in a ball, sitting under an umbrella, in a puddle, in the pouring rain. After working with Dawn for just a few sessions I began to see myself standing upright, walking out from the puddle, and eventually realizing the rain had stopped entirely. Essentially, she helped me see the sun again after what must have been years of steady rain.”
