NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS!

Hey there! I’m Dawn, but you can just call me your friendly neighborhood counselor. I’m the person who believes that “busy” isn’t a badge of honor—it’s a cry for help wrapped in a color-coded planner. I’m the one who’s all about helping high-achieving perfectionists break free from the never-ending cycle of busyness and self-sacrifice. I love supporting the overachiever who juggles more balls than a circus clown, and secretly wonders if their life is a never-ending PowerPoint presentation. Yep, that’s me!
My Mission: Unmasking the Perfectionist Cape
Let’s peel back those layers, shall we? Beneath that crisp suit and polished resume lies a superhero cape—the Perfectionist Cape. But guess what? You don’t need to save the world every day. Sometimes, it’s okay to binge-watch Netflix and eat ice cream for dinner.
What I Do: Mindful Self-Compassion 101
Together, we’ll learn the art of mindful self-compassion. Picture this: You, wrapped in a cozy blanket, sipping chamomile tea, and whispering sweet nothings to your stressed-out soul. We’ll thank that inner critic part of you for keeping you going all of these years, and invite the compassionate cheerleader part who says, “Hey, it’s okay—you’re human!”
Values Exploration: Treasure Hunt for Your Soul
Let’s dig deep into your treasure chest of values. What lights you up? Is it kindness, adventure, or a secret love for disco music? We’ll dust off those gems, polish them, and create a life that sparkles with authenticity.
Metaphors Galore: Therapy, But Make It Fun
I’m the queen of metaphors & analogies. Seriously, I’ve compared life to a Choose Your Own Adventure book, a jigsaw puzzle missing a few pieces, and a burrito (because everything’s better with guac). Let’s unravel your story using quirky comparisons and a dash of whimsy.
Zen Vibes: Tranquility, Tea, and Tibetan Singing Bowls
Step into my office—it’s like a Pinterest board collided with a meditation retreat. Soft lighting, soothing sounds, and an oil diffuser that doubles as a disco ball (just kidding-kind of). We’ll create a tranquil space where insights flow like a lazy river.
Connection Magic: Building Bridges, Not Walls
Humans need connection like plants need sunlight. Let’s weave a web of meaningful relationships—friends, family, or that barista who knows your coffee order by heart. Because life’s too short for solo dance parties (unless you’re into interpretive dance, in which case, go wild!).
So, grab your metaphorical compass (or an actual one—I won’t judge), and let’s navigate this adventure called life. Together, we’ll turn perfectionism into progress, stress into serenity, and chaos into confetti.
Ready to take that first step?!
Let’s sprinkle some self-compassion stardust and make your heart sing.
