About Dawn

Expert guidance and personalized coaching.

Being a person in long-term recovery and a trauma survivor, I am perfectly positioned to help my clients feel safe discussing their challenges openly. My goal is to help people overcome barriers and evolve into the person they truly want to be.

I practice from a foundation of humanistic therapy — holding clients in high positive regard, with openness and empathy to their experience, so they can safely explore internal barriers and catalyze growth.

Yes. Every new client begins with a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to discuss your situation, answer questions and decide together whether we're a good fit.

DLC is a private-pay concierge practice. Fees and payment options are reviewed transparently during your consultation, and a superbill can be provided for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

We begin with a confidential family consultation, assess the situation and treatment options, prepare each participant, and then facilitate the intervention with a placement plan already in hand.

Yes — sessions are available in person at 75 Railroad Place in Saratoga Springs, or securely online for clients who prefer it or live outside the area.

Monday–Friday 10am–8pm, Saturday 10am–5pm and Sunday 10am–4pm. Evening and weekend availability is intentional, so support fits around real life.
