I am a patient therapist who will celebrate your wins. It's an honor to walk alongside someone facing fears, discomfort and eventual change. I'll approach our sessions respectfully, with a sense of curiosity. First and foremost, this is a nonjudgmental space. I have the utmost respect for your privacy, honesty, and vulnerability. I will challenge you to be patient with yourself. Healing is often not linear, but your efforts will be worth it. You can do this. In addition to OCD, I specialize in treating trauma, phobias, depression, panic, and anxiety.

Why our members love working with Dana
J.W.
I have had four sessions with Dana so far and every session has unlocked something new in my brain, in an amazing way. I never feel rushed with her and she lets me really think about things. She somehow seems to have an answer to all of my questions and really takes her time to get to know you. I’ve already ugly cried in front of her, which is a testament to how comfortable she makes me feel. I cannot wait to see what we can accomplish by working together.

Since I made my switch to Dana Mid August, my focus has increased as well as my engagement in the ERP exercises each session.

I was extremely nervous to open up to another therapist, but I am so glad I did. Dana is one of a kind. She is full of love. I told her in our last session that talking to her is like a warm hug. She is empathetic, genuine, and a truly patient oriented therapist. She meets me where I am without judgement and helps me process OCD and how it affects my life. She challenges my perfectionistic tendencies and helps me to move forward in ERP. I prayed for the right therapist, and I am thankful to be in her care! She is incredible, you will have no regrets working with her!
