Dawn is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) offering telehealth and in-person
individual therapy in our Burnsville office. Dawn is also master trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an eye movement therapy effective in processing difficult life events and memories, traumatic experiences and other major life issues.
Utilizing elements of cognitive behavioral theory, Dawn acknowledges the impact our family of origin and childhood attachment have on how we view the world, ourselves and others. She approaches sessions collaboratively and from a holistic perspective, with attention to spirituality, environment, nutrition, movement and mindfulness.
Just as there are a multitude of situations that create toxic stress, Dawn believes healing can come from many different experiences, including Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, martial arts, meditation, energy healing, bodywork, creative outlets, community engagement, and time spent outdoors. Dawn is a certified yoga teacher, Reiki Master, and is level 2 certified in Healing Touch.
Dawn believes ultimately the client is the expert and by working collaboratively, therapist and client will discover what the mind, body and spirit needs to live an authentic and fulfilling life.
Outside the therapy office Dawn enjoys spending time with friends, family, her dogs and the great outdoors.
Her specific areas of concentration include:
- Adults
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Trauma/PTSD/Childhood trauma
- Toxic/Narcissistic relationships
- High conflict divorce
